Managed Payments, Properly Reconciled
eBay's final value fees, ad fees, international fees, and refund offsets — split out of the weekly net payout so your accounts match the seller hub down to the penny.
Who we helpAudience
eBay Sellers accounting, handled.
eBay now reports sellers above £1,000 / 30 items to HMRC. If that letter is in the post — get ahead of it.
Since January 2024, eBay (and every other digital platform under the OECD model rules) shares seller data with HMRC. We help everyone from weekend resellers crossing the £1,000 trading allowance to full-time Managed Payments traders running 1,000+ listings — clean books, correct VAT, and an honest conversation about whether your activity has tipped from hobby into trade.

Our impact
How we help ebay sellers succeed.
01 02 Hobby or Trade? An Honest Answer
We apply the nine badges of trade — frequency, modification, motive, source — and tell you whether you owe back-tax, can use the £1,000 allowance, or are squarely in business.
03 Voluntary Disclosure if You're Behind
If you've been over the threshold for years and HMRC's platform-reporting letter has arrived, we handle the Digital Disclosure Service so the penalty regime is mitigated, not maximised.
04 VAT on Cross-Border Sales
eBay collects and remits UK VAT on imports under £135 and on EU OSS-eligible sales — we make sure your own return doesn't double-count what eBay has already accounted for.
Tailored services
Everything you need for ebay sellers.
01 Managed Payments Reconciliation
Weekly payouts decoded into gross sales, fees, refunds, and shipping — fed into Xero or FreeAgent automatically.
02 Trading Allowance & Self-Assessment
Sole-trader returns covering the £1,000 trading allowance, full Self-Assessment once you cross it, and clean record-keeping in between.
03 Stock & Cost-of-Goods Tracking
Resale stock costed in (boot sales, auction lots, wholesale pallets) so profit isn't overstated and you're not taxed on phantom margin.
04 VAT Registration & Multi-Marketplace
Threshold monitoring across all your eBay sites plus any other channels — register only when you actually need to.
05 Digital Disclosure (Catch-Up Returns)
Back-year Self-Assessment, voluntary disclosure, and negotiation of HMRC penalties for sellers caught by platform reporting.
06 Incorporation When It Makes Sense
Modelled comparison of staying sole-trader vs going Ltd once profits clear roughly £30k — the tipping point most generalist accountants miss.
