Currently if an order is placed with instant checkout, the order goes into an in progress state while Bricklink waits for some confirmation of payment from Paypal. The order stays in that state for 10 minutes according to some other posts in the forum. I would like the API to be able to access these orders and the stock that is tied up on them. The reason is so that I can get an accurate picture of my inventory even if I have in progress orders. After all while the in progress order is there, I still have this inventory on the shelf, but I don't have an order that it belongs to. The absence of this feature is the only reason stopping me from turning instant checkout on.
