eBay nets out the labels, the fees, the tax.Ledgerzoom nets it back.

With managed payments, eBay deducts final value fees, promoted listing fees and shipping labels before it pays you — and collects tax you never see. Ledgerzoom grosses every payout back up in QuickBooks Online.

Read-only access via eBay’s official Finances API. Ledgerzoom never changes listings, orders or payouts.

A single eBay payout with every deduction on its own line.

The reconciliation gap

A payout that quietly paid your postage

eBay deducts fees and shipping labels straight from your balance. The deposit looks like revenue, but several real expenses are buried inside it.

Sales & shipping$6,725.00143 orders your buyers paid for
Fees, labels & refunds$1,465.95Deducted by eBay before payout
Bank deposit$5,259.05What actually reaches your bank

Book the payout as income and your postage, ad spend and eBay fees never make it onto the P&L.

Shipping costs go missing

Labels bought on eBay are paid from your payouts. Without an entry, your cost of shipping looks like zero.

Fee creep goes unnoticed

Final value fees vary by category and promoted listing rates add up. If they are netted away, you never see the trend.

Tax is tangled into sales

eBay collects and remits sales tax for you. It needs to pass through a clearing account, not your revenue line.

How it works

eBay to QuickBooks Online, on autopilot

  1. Once, about five minutes

    Connect eBay and QuickBooks

    Authorize eBay via its official OAuth and connect QuickBooks Online. Ledgerzoom proposes accounts for fees, labels, advertising and tax.

  2. Every night, unattended

    Payouts and transactions sync nightly

    Ledgerzoom reads every sale, fee, label, refund and hold from the eBay Finances API and groups them by payout.

  3. Before you wake up

    Each payout posts balanced

    One entry per payout, dated to the payout and tied to the exact deposit in your QuickBooks bank feed.

Capabilities

Everything eBay deducts, accounted for

From per-order fees to international surcharges, Ledgerzoom separates what eBay takes so your eBay channel margin is real.

  • Final value fees

    Percentage and per-order fees post to a dedicated expense account, by category if you want the detail.

  • Promoted listings

    Standard and Advanced promoted listing fees land in advertising expense rather than reducing sales.

  • Shipping labels

    Labels purchased through eBay are booked to postage expense and matched to the payout that paid for them.

  • Facilitator tax pass-through

    Tax eBay collects and remits clears to zero through a dedicated account, keeping income clean.

  • International fees

    Cross-border and currency conversion fees are separated so international sales margin is visible.

  • Holds and reserves

    Funds on hold are tracked until released, so your eBay clearing account always ties out.

  • Never posts twice

    Every sync is idempotent and keyed to the source ledger. A retry or re-run produces the same single entry, not a duplicate.

  • Review mode for accountants

    Queue entries for approval instead of auto-posting, with a full audit trail and one-click reversal.

  • Historical backfill

    Work backwards through prior months to clean up unreconciled activity on any connected channel.
