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.

What This Tool Checks

We validate your eBay Transaction Report against the expected schema: - Required columns present (Transaction creation date, Type, Order number, Gross transaction amount) - Date formats parseable - Currency values valid - Transaction types recognized - No empty required fields You get a detailed error report with row numbers to fix issues at the source.

Common Target Import Errors

Issues you might encounter when importing Source data to Target - and how we solve them

Missing Order Number

The 'Order number' column is required but contains empty values

Re-export or remove currency symbols using search/replace

Fee Values Not Negative

eBay exports fees as negative amounts (they reduce your balance)
