The online version simply may have delayed information that was not yet tallied into the report.Īnother thing to keep in mind is that the ID names and column titles for some of your totals may have changed since last year. From what eBay has stated, the downloaded documents are all correct. I found a few totals that were off $20 to $30 between the online version, and the downloaded version. One thing everyone should be aware of is that some of the totals shown on eBay may be slightly different from what your downloaded spreadsheets may show. This will produce the report, which can also be downloaded into a spreadsheet, such as Microsoft Excel, Google Documents, or any other spreadsheet application you may be using. To see the entire prior years’ worth of data, you can simply select Last Year and then click the Generate Report button. This is a great improvement over prior years, which required you to download many different documents from various places, which may have included the need to download some reports through PayPal as well. It can be searched by the day, week, month, and year, which makes it easy to see your entire yearly figures all at once. Once you are on the Performance tab, you just need to click Sales on the left side of the screen, and you will be able to select your sales data, based on the length of time you wish to view. All of your needed information can now be found in your Seller Hub under the Performance tab. So today, I thought it would be helpful to go over where you can access and download all of your sales, fees, and tax totals that you will need to file your taxes.Įven if you plan on using an accountant you will still need to access these totals. eBay has simplified much of the process and made available simple to follow forms, along with directions on their use. One good thing, though, which will be helpful for those reselling on eBay, is the ease of accessing all your needed data. For many resellers, this will be their very first time filing as self-employed, or as their own business entity. The pandemic has pushed far more people into the reselling world than in any other time in history, and tax time is fast approaching. Some people may think that it is odd to compare death to taxes, but for many, filing taxes can be a very traumatic experience, especially for those running their own business for the very first time. In 1789 Ben Franklin penned that, “in this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes,” which still rings true to this day.
