Getting eBay Data Into Xero

Format Compatibility Issues

eBay's transaction exports don't match Xero's import requirements. Dates are formatted differently, columns have different names, and amounts need restructuring. Our tool handles all the formatting so your import succeeds on the first try.

Payout Timing Complexity

eBay transactions and bank deposits happen on different days. This tool creates properly dated entries that reconcile with your actual bank deposits, whether you use a clearing account or direct bank reconciliation.

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

Frequently Asked Questions

Go to Accounting → Bank Accounts → select your bank (or eBay Clearing account) → Bank Statements → Import. Upload the converted CSV and follow Xero's mapping wizard.
They use the same processor - the difference is intent. Import focuses on getting data INTO Xero. Convert focuses on file format transformation. Use whichever matches your workflow.
Common issues: wrong date format for your region, duplicate transactions (already imported), or exceeding 1,000 rows. Our tool handles date formatting and batching automatically.
Recommended for proper accounting. Create 'eBay Clearing' as a bank account in Xero. Import transactions there, then transfer to your real bank when eBay deposits arrive.
Yes! Export any date range from eBay and convert it. Xero accepts historical imports - just be aware that importing into closed periods may require adjustment.
