downloading ebay fees for accounting

Stuart_P

is there a way to download (ideallly in pdf format) a report for all transactions for a certain period that shows ebay fees paid on each transaction?

macfly

There is in csv format.

Stuart_P

thanks. how do I go about doing that?

googler

Go into your eBay account, account activity and under the invoices heading is the option to enable CSV downloads

Stuart_P

ok cheers. reason I asked for a PDF document is a .csv file can easily be falsely edited, so if the taxman comes knocking, how will I prove that what I have on the csv file is 100% as it should be?

Any document can be edited. Any set of accounts can be falsified. But anyone can have a look at your sales just by knowing your user name.

Stuart_P

ah ok I didn't think a PDF could be edited once produced. thanks for explaining

They can ask Ebay.

Is it possible to create a similar report in Paypal? For example a monthly report which shows the total fees paid. Or do I need to get my pen and paper out and add them up manually?

yes go to 'download history' found within your account
