My orders (1) vs. My orders (2)

English translation: My Purchases - My Sales

English term or phrase: My orders (1) vs. My orders (2)

This is about user interface of a web shop.

I need to somehow distinguish between

(1) My orders (about customer. what the customer has ordered), and

(2) My orders (about seller, what was ordered with the seller).

These two buttons will appear on the same page and I need two different names for them

Can someone suggest a way out?

Thank you in advance!

Alexander Onishko

Selected answer:My Purchases - My Sales

Explanation:
...or the use of 'history' as Gary has suggested:
Purchase History - Sale History

I also think it works fine with 'orders placed' - 'orders received', as suggested from Çağdaş.

my orders (1) vs. my orders (2) 1. My orders- shopping cart (Customer) 2. My orders- to be delivered (Seller)

Explanation:
I see '"shopping cart" is frequently used for placing orders and "orders to be delivered" seems to be simple and will not cause confusion.

my orders (1) vs. my orders (2) shopping cart - open orders

Explanation:
2 further possibilities.

I am assuming that version 2 is orders that have been placed but not delivered. If this is the case, an alternative would be - (orders) awaiting delivery.

Reference information:
Dear Alexander,
I think you need a combination like "orders placed" vs "orders received", but I'm not sure about how the arrangement should be. You had better decide on that.
