Looking to start HMRC assessment, where are the sales reports? Templates are useless ?

Any clues where to find the above please . . . . ….?

Looking to start HMRC assessment, where are the sales reports? Templates are useless ?

When I have to do my end of financial year accounts and tax return, I need a report from eBay showing all my orders. The order report in Excel you offer to download includes everything apart from the postage labels that I buy from eBay. Why don’t you offer this vital information in your reports? Your Postage Label report you offer only goes back as far as 90 days. I need all the information in one Excel report going back from April 2023 to March 2024.

I spoke to an eBay assistant, and they confirm that Postage Labels bought from eBay do NOT appear in the Excel Sales Report and they only stay on their system for 90 days. The only way I can see round it is to use the Excel Orders Report for April 2023 to March 2024 for the total sales figure and then work out the postage paid to eBay for a Postage Label for each individual transaction

In retrospect I should have been printed off a Postage Label Report at least every 90 days from April 2023 onwards. It is too late for the 2023/24 tax year AND it is also too late for most of the 2024/25 tax year. For the tax year 2025/26 I will certainly use this system as it will save me number crunching every single sales transaction.

Ive found how to do this...

 

On ebay desktop go to My Ebay, Selling then Sales with the bar chart graph. In the dropdown box select custom. You can put a full year here. Then i just put compared to same period last year, this part doesn't really matter.  Hit generate report (if it says error log in and out again for a refresh & try again) 

It will give all info on this screen and you can also download an excel file. I've paid for postage labels with both paypal and funds, its all on there.
