Field Mapping

How Ebay_Seller Transactions fields map to Xero Bank Statement

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

Why Premium Integration Apps Aren't Always the Answer

The $20-80/Month Question

Integration apps like A2X, Link My Books, and others charge monthly fees for automated eBay-Xero syncing. For many sellers, especially those doing monthly or quarterly bookkeeping, file-based integration delivers the same results at a fraction of the cost.

Our Approach: Professional Results, Pay-Per-Use

Export your eBay data monthly, convert it through our tools, and import to Xero. You get the same properly-formatted accounting data — fee breakdowns, payout reconciliation, customer records — without recurring subscription costs. Our suite covers bank reconciliation, invoice creation, and contact sync.

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
