I'm guessing some kind of rounding error or difference in the algorithm.
That's "guessing", mind you. Unasked for counsel: Go with the higher amount.
I mean, 2 pennies is a bank-breaker, but we all have to make sacrifices.

Didn't check the current rate, but possible the first is in USD?

You're right.
I compared 1 USD to 1 EURO. The difference is less noticeable... ☺

Nubs, download it as an XML and see what it's written inside.
It should be more clear than on the order page or whatever.

You can select only ONE order.


This should give you something to open with Notepad or Notepad++ (better) with
few info, example below.

Not sure if there is anything here that might help
I think I have a possible reason. If you look at the item totals they are slightly
different is maybe since they requested a quote before ordering the currency
conversion changed and that changed the tax since the amount was different?

Gee! See my initial screen copy. You must download a .txt file which is an XML.
Then open it locally with Notepad, and take a screenshot or send it to me?

I see.

Currency for payment: USD

The order total was: 25.00 CAD
Your total shows 18.70 (USD), so that was a rate of 0.748 USD/CAD

The BASEGRANDTOTAL is 45.96 (CAD)
The total in 34.49 (EUR), so that was a rate of 0.7504 EUR/CAD

The calculated VAT is 7.98 (CAD) * 0.7504 = 5.99 EUR
And 7.98 (CAD) * 0.748 = 5.97 USD

So, it's everything but clear, but the calculations are exact.

On your picture here:
https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1366349

... the numbers WITHOUT currency are USD, and the ones with EUR are EUR (doh!).

So it's normal you see 5.97 which is the VAT in USD (which doesn't mean
anything, BTW) and 5.99 which is the one in EUR.


There is no rounding error, it's just complicated because seller in CAD,
shipped to EUR Country and paid in USD.

HTH?

Hi,

Was the order paid in USD by a French member ?
Currently, USD and EURO are very very close !! That could be an explaination...

Paid in usd by a member from the Netherlands. When I resent their invoice (I
do that after x amount of days) it said the vat has changed I’ll check the current
currency conversion rates and compare it to the order
