For most eBay sellers, bank statement format is simpler and sufficient. Use invoice format if you need AR tracking, B2B documentation, or customer-facing invoice records. Many sellers use both - invoices for documentation and bank statements for reconciliation.

eBay fees are NOT included in invoices - they're business expenses, not customer charges. Invoices show what the customer paid. Track fees separately using our Bank Statement converter with two-line mode.

Tax collected by eBay (Marketplace Facilitator Tax) isn't included since eBay remits it directly. Only seller-collected tax appears on invoices. Configure your Tax Type setting to match how you handle sales tax.

Yes! Each item in an order becomes a line item on the invoice. Shipping appears as an additional line if enabled. The invoice groups all items under the same invoice number.

Xero automatically creates contacts when you import invoices with new customer names. For bulk contact import with addresses and phone numbers, use our eBay to Xero Contacts tool first.

The prefix (default: EB-) helps identify eBay orders in Xero. Order 11-12345 becomes invoice EB-11-12345. This prevents number conflicts with other invoice sources.
