A good way on Ebay to get list of shipping price paid per transaction?

[DoNotInsertIntoMouth]

I was trying to figure out a better way than manually writing them all down to see what I paid for shipping for each individual transaction (tax and profit calculation reasons).

 

Anyone have a good system, eBay app, etc. they wouldn't mind sharing?

As far as I know there isn't a good way, maybe if you have more than a basic ebay store you can. For my taxes the last two years I just went through all my paypal transactions and recorded the amount for each payment to ebay shipping and kept receipts from the PO.

I know if you go to "manage shipments", you get a list of what you pd for shipping for each transaction. Im not sure if theres a way to print that list.

I just do it in Excel as I ship each package...It does not really take that long

I have free shipping on all my listings, so I can easily track my exact shipping cost through Paypal/EBay shipping.

I write it down.  Knowing the total cost of a listing makes it easy to calculate everything else.  Paypal makes reading all the information pretty user friendly.

I used to do the excel spreadsheet deal but it takes up too much time if your selling a decent volume.

Do you print out shipping labels through eBay? I use the Avery labels with my USPS shipments (The ones with 2 labels on an 8.5 x 11" sheet). The top half is the mailing label that gets put on the package. The bottom half is an "Online Label Record" that shows how much postage I paid, as well as the auction item and number. You could save a stack of them, throw them in a file folder or something, until it's time to do your taxes and/or you're ready to deal with them. Then pay a teenager to add them all up for you

I use an Excel spreadsheet to track our inventory as I list it, move the inventory to a sold tab once I've sold it, and if I were recording shipping per package it would be simple to add a column to that sold sheet and plug the numbers in each day when I printed labels.

 

There is also a good, comprehensive tab-delimited download available on PayPal (I run ours monthly) that you can split shipping out on. I can't remember if the shipping itself get i.d. by transaction, but that's where I get my total shipping paid out per month for tax purposes. You can find that under the "reports" option on PayPal.

Outright or now known as Go Daddy Bookkeeping is a free app you can use with ebay.  Does a pretty good job so far.  Only crashed once.

I was playing with this, but I think I need to probably subscribe to get the reports that I need. Is it worth it for the tax stuff?

 

I move maybe 10 items a day - 30 ish over the weekends. Excel works, but I am a efficiency person. I hate just standing pat when I know there is a quicker way to do something.
