QB Self Employed Handling Ebay transactions

Your analysis of your situation is commendable, Gary. I can provide details about the HMRC requirements regarding your taxable transactions or income from eBay.

Here's a breakdown of the factors that you need to consider for HRMC compliance:

• Total income
• Expenses
• Net profit of your business

That said, the HMRC needs to gather the complete specifications of each transaction from your eBay activities. These are as follows:

• Gross sales
• Fees
• Postage costs
• Other deductible expenses

Given these matters, your decision to manually import your transactions from eBay into QuickBooks is the most sensible action. In this manner, you can categorise your data accordingly.

Furthermore, you can seek guidance from a tax expert or accounting professional during this process to ensure the accuracy of your entries. Doing so ensures you can precisely record your future financial inputs and potential taxes for HRMC compliance purposes.

I understand the idea of importing a csv file, my problem is I cannot find a report that I can generate on Ebay that contains all the information needed.

We value your proactiveness in integrating your eBay transactions into QuickBooks Self Employed (QBSE), Gary. I'm here to provide details about how to acquire the necessary eBay reports.

It is advisable to contact the eBay customer support team to obtain reports with detailed information about your transactions. They can provide available statements or reports to integrate into your QBSE account.
