I'm having a problem with my items being bought for below the listed prices
and I cannot for the life of me work out why.
Example: Sold a minifigure listed at €13.25 for €10.95041
The store is in euros & the prices are for euros.
If anyone can shed any light on this, I would be incredibly grateful. I've
messaged Bricklink via the site without reply and now tried via twitter with
nothing yet.
I fear I will have to close my store until it's resolved

There is no bug, you forgot there's VAT.
10.95 * 1.21 = 13.25€
That means this order was an Export outside Europe, without VAT.
OMG I'm an idiot Thank you.
LOL, no you aren't; please post in forum if you've any question before

Question, is there any way to add on or reclaim the 21% "lost" or just
write it off and move forward? [I've contacted buyers to apologise for my
fault and will honour the orders]

You didn't lose anything! You CANNOT (normally) Invoice VAT outside Europe.
That's 100% normal.
If you're not familiar with VAT, taxes and International shipments (Customs
declaration)... I'd urge you to read a lot about this or you may get in trouble

OP isn’t using BrickLink’s VAT mechanism (no mention of VAT in your terms).
Unless they just changed it?
So, either:
— they never used it, and BrickLink didn’t remove 21% on the price, so I don’t
know how the 21% were removed,
— they are VAT-registered and use BrickLink’s VAT mechanism, and in that
case the sale is just 0%-VAT for export and they account for it in their books
and VAT declarations.
The middle gound of being VAT-registered and not using the VAT mechanism here
would mean they are now overcharging non-EU buyers (or unduly collecting VAT
from them).

There's no "could" about it, I'll happily admit I'm mixed
up
From my point of view, I'm trying to sell an item for €13.50, not €10.95.
I guess I was negligent or oblivious to the VAT as usually it's included
or added on top when I'm buying things. So I haven't been charging or
trying to collect VAT from anyone.
So if my desired price of the item is €13.50 I should price it as €16.335?! (13.50
* 1.21) That's never going to sell.

Don't worry, you're not going to jail for a couple euros mistake, but
please read and correct errors.
It's simple: you upload your ITEMS prices INCLUDING your VAT.
In short, if your price is 13.50€ in your example, then upload it at 13.50 *
1.21 = 16.34€
It'll be sold 16.34€ in Spain but 13.50€ to the USA - that's normal.
About Shipping Methods, Additional fees etc., you may have to set up Net prices
if you've the corresponding "includes VAT" checkbox checked...

10.95 * 1.21 = 13.25€
That means this order was an Export outside Europe, without VAT.
How so? Seller doesn’t seem to be VAT registered, his store banner isn’t showing
any VAT % which means that non-EU buyers should see the same prices as EU buyers.

He was.
Enabling VAT requires a domestic VAT-ID or OSS registration.
So if he managed to turn it on he seem to have one or both.
But it’s not something you just turn on and off as you like.
He should definitely get it sorted or contact a tax advisor.
