Field Mapping

How Ebay_Seller Transactions fields map to Xero Bank Statement

Ebay_Seller Transactions Source Value Xero Bank Statement Target Value Note

Data Transformation

Each eBay transaction becomes 1 or 2 bank rows depending on mode

Input eBay Transaction

One Managed Payments transaction with sales, fees, taxes

Key columns: Order number, Transaction creation date
1:N — One input row creates multiple output rows
Output Xero Bank Line 1 or 2 rows per input

CR Sale Line Money received from buyer
DR Fee Line (two-line mode only) eBay fees (negative)
Net amount = Gross - Fees

Connecting Platforms Without the Complexity

API Integrations Aren't Always Better

Direct API connections require API keys, OAuth tokens, and ongoing maintenance. When something breaks — and it will — you're stuck waiting for support. File-based connections put you in control of your data flow.

The Simple Alternative

Export from eBay. Convert with our tools. Import to Xero. Three steps, complete control, no recurring fees. Your data never touches third-party servers. Works with any eBay export, any time period.

Common Bank Statement Import Errors

Issues you might encounter when importing Transaction Report data to Bank Statement - and how we solve them

Payout vs Transaction Date Mismatch

Bank shows deposit on different day than transaction

Transaction: Jan 15, Bank deposit: Jan 17
Group by Payout ID for reconciliation

This is normal - eBay batches and deposits 1-2 days later

Match by Payout ID or aggregate by payout date

Multiple Fee Types

eBay has many fee types (FVF, international, ad fees)

FVF: -$1.30, Ad Fee: -$2.00, International: -$0.50
Total Fees: -$3.80

We aggregate all fees into Total fees column

For detailed fee tracking, download fee invoice separately

eBay Collected Tax Confusion

Marketplace Facilitator Tax collected by eBay

Gross $108, Tax $8 collected by eBay
Net to seller: $100 (eBay remits tax)

eBay Collected Tax doesn't affect your bank deposit

Don't include eBay-collected tax in your revenue

Refunds Show as Negative

Refunds appear as negative net amounts

Type: Refund, Net: -$50.00
Bank line: Amount -$50.00

Negative amounts indicate money going out

These correctly reduce your bank balance
