We had an order with item Qty left in negative number. I check our inventory,
yup it shows -20.

Looks like it was deducted twice.

Checked the other items on the same order, they might be deducted twice as well.
But we have 2-5% extra than listed quantity, so I can't be 100% sure.

This or zeros.

It happens from time to time, and is probably related to Instant Checkout, when
a buyer places the order and doesn't (or cannot) finalize the payment, the
items are temporarily removed from stock...

In general everything's fixed the latest everyday for you I guess at midnight
by BrickLink's batch/cron maintenance.

I'd recommend you NOT to change this until you see it's here (or not)
tomorrow.

Otherwise, there's also a setting in your shop like "Remove my zero inventory",
don't remember, I'll find it if you can't.

I did set it up, to every day.

HTH?

Thank you, I'll check it tomorrow, hopefully it'll be back to zero. We
don't remove zero qty inventory, would like to retain cost number for future
reference.

Do you have any orders 'In Progress'?
Top right on the Orders Received page (see pic).

Nope. None of the 'In Progress' stays over night, at least in our store.

Say it's a glitch, don't lose your time, correct it and forget it.

And set up this option in settings I told about before, maybe?

But we have 2-5% extra than listed quantity, so I can't be 100% sure.

Are you using any kind of software outside of Bricklink that interacts with the
inventory?
If so, maybe that deducted one (or more) orders twice.

No, we didn't update that lot. In fact, we can't make any lot negative.
Bricklink won't allow it.

Through the inventory pages it is indeed not possible, but via the API you can
(or at least it was possible in the past).
That's why I asked if you are using software outside of Bricklink
