| 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.

I will add that, to avoid race conditions, it would be best if these "checkout
in progress" orders could be listed within the results of the existing /orders
API call (with an appropriate new status code). In order to preserve backward
compatibility of the API call, this new behavior could be requested by specifying
an extra parameter, like inprogress=Y.
