How People Use This

Evaluated A2X, Link My Books, and Synder for my eBay-to-Xero accounting. All wanted OAuth access to both accounts and charged monthly. I'm a one-person operation selling vintage cameras — I don't need real-time sync. Export my Managed Payments report monthly, convert here, import to Xero in two minutes. Saves me about 500 quid a year.

eBay Seller · UK-based, 400+ listings

The region support sold me. My eBay clients are spread across Australia and the UK, and every sync app I tried got the date formats wrong for at least one client's Xero org. This tool lets me pick the region per conversion. Bank reconciliation, invoices, contacts — I get all three from one eBay export.

My previous integration app lost its eBay API access for two weeks last year. No transactions synced, my Xero books were a mess, and I spent a full weekend catching up manually. Switched to file-based integration because CSV exports always work. No API dependencies, no surprises.

Dean M.
Marketplace Seller · eBay + Amazon, electronics

I needed bank reconciliation, sales invoices, and customer contacts for my eBay seller clients. Most apps only do one of those. This suite does all three from the same eBay export file. The complete integration cost me less than one month of any competitor's subscription.

Integration Questions Answered

How does this compare to A2X or Link My Books?

Those apps sync automatically but cost $19-79/month. Our tools convert the same data for a one-time per-export cost. Best for monthly/quarterly bookkeeping or budget-conscious sellers.

Which integration type should I use?

Bank Statement for reconciliation (most common), Invoices if you need AR tracking or B2B documentation, Contacts to build your customer database. Many users do bank statements regularly and contacts once to seed Xero.

Does this work with Managed Payments?

Yes, designed specifically for eBay Managed Payments. We parse the Transaction Report format including fees, refunds, and payout groupings.

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. If you only need to import eBay data into Xero monthly, file-based integration is the smarter choice.

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.

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

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

Your data never leaves your device. All files are processed entirely in your browser using client-side JavaScript - no data is stored on our servers or sent anywhere. There's no account to hack, no database storing your files, and no API connections to your bank or accounting software. You upload, convert, download, and we forget it immediately.
No payment or signup required. You can upload your file, see a free preview of the conversion results, and verify everything looks correct before paying anything. If it doesn't work for your files, you haven't wasted any money. We only charge when you're satisfied and ready to download the final converted file.
You can, but free scripts and AI often miss edge cases that break real-world data: missing SKUs, currency formatting quirks, tax calculation errors, or date format mismatches. We have battle-tested validators specifically designed for accounting software imports that catch these issues before they corrupt your books. Plus, you get instant browser-based conversion without installing Python or managing dependencies.

This tool focuses on financial data. For inventory, export eBay listings and use a general CSV to Xero Items converter, or manage inventory through eBay's stock tools.
Most sellers do monthly syncs to match accounting periods. Weekly works for high-volume sellers. The workflow handles any time period you export from eBay.
eBay payouts are reduced by final value fees, shipping charges, refunds, VAT, chargebacks, and promoted listing fees before the amount reaches your bank account.
Good integrations automatically separate VAT by region and correctly map marketplace-collected taxes as pass-through liabilities, not seller obligations.
Shipping costs to customers are expenses, not COGS. Only freight costs to your warehouse are included in inventory value and COGS.
You'll be charged a $20 dispute fee unless eBay applies automatic seller protections. Record dispute losses as expenses in Xero.
