I've just had my 2025 digital sales report produced by eBay (which I'm assuming has been submitted to HMRC already) The report shows a full list of items sold for the year, and the cost for postage against each item when Simple Delivery was used. All Simple Delivery items are showing that the postage cost was only 98 pence, yet the actual cost deducted from my payout was far higher than that. e.g. I sold an item for £199 (excl buyers fee) and ebay deducted £5.88 for postage. Therefore my actual payout was £193.12.In my digital sales report, it shows the net tax consideration for the item itself as £199 but the postage expense is only 98p so the net tax consideration is £198.02? Anyone else seeing the same with their orders? I hope this submission can be corrected as its inflating my tax calculation for the year.
