A client's eBay transaction report had fee columns showing positive values instead of negative — someone had opened it in Excel and run a find-and-replace that stripped the minus signs. QuickBooks imported every fee as income instead of an expense. Their P&L was off by $6,400 before we caught it. The validator flags any fee that isn't negative, so I would have seen it in seconds.

How People Use eBay Transactions
I downloaded three months of eBay transaction reports to do quarterly taxes and didn't realize the exports overlapped by two weeks. Had 340 duplicate transactions that inflated my gross by $9,200. The IRS would have had questions. Now I run every export through the validator first — the duplicate detection catches overlapping date ranges immediately.
eBay's managed payments export had rows where the Transaction creation date was completely blank — about 15 rows scattered through a 2,000-row file. My accounting software assigned them to January 1, 1970, which threw off every monthly report. The row-level validation catches empty required fields and gives me exact row numbers so I can fix them in the source before importing.
Why Validate Before Converting?
Catch Issues Early
Bad data causes conversion failures and import errors. Missing columns, wrong date formats,
or invalid values can waste hours troubleshooting QuickBooks import rejections.
Validating first identifies exactly which rows have problems before you process.
