Accountant For eBay Sellers

Your eBay accounts, sorted.

Most eBay sellers underestimate how complicated the books become once sales volume picks up. Final value fees, payment processor payouts, VAT thresholds and a self assessment or corporation tax return — it adds up. Fixed monthly fee, ICAEW chartered, same-day replies.

  • Clean, current books every month — no year-end scramble
  • Know your tax position well before HMRC sends the reminder
  • VAT threshold monitored — you will not cross it without knowing
  • An accountant who already understands how eBay payouts and fees work

No long-term contract. If it is not working after three months, you leave with clean books and nothing owed.

Sound familiar?

eBay admin growing faster than your margins?

The more you sell, the messier the numbers become. eBay fees, refunds, payment processor deductions and multi-channel income that refuses to reconcile neatly against your bank account. Add a VAT threshold edging closer and a tax return due with records that have not been touched since last year. It is all manageable — it just takes longer the more you leave it.

  • Hours lost trying to reconcile eBay payouts against your bank statements
  • No clear picture of your tax bill until it is already urgent
  • VAT threshold approaching with no one monitoring where you actually stand

What sorted looks like

Your eBay records reconciled every month, fees and payouts categorised correctly. Your tax position visible throughout the year, not just when the deadline is close. VAT monitored as a matter of course — no unexpected registration obligation.

  • eBay payouts and fees reconciled every month — no year-end archaeology
  • Tax position clear well before HMRC asks for payment
  • VAT threshold monitored — you will not be caught out by it
  • One fixed monthly cost, agreed upfront, that does not move

Kieran at Swift is super! He helped and bailed me out of the last minute panic of tax and Companies House returns. He’s on the ball, quick at responding, patient with me and got the job done stress free, plus his rates are very competitive.

Why Swift

Why eBay sellers choose Swift

There is no shortage of accountants. Here is what is different about working with one who already knows how eBay and eCommerce businesses work.

🛒

No explaining how eBay works

Final value fees, managed payments payouts, refund adjustments, multi-channel income — you will not spend ten minutes explaining your business model before getting a useful answer. We work with online sellers every day. Ask a question, get a straight answer.

💬

Replies the same day

Questions get answered the day you ask them. Not logged, not queued, not passed to a junior — answered. If you want to know whether a piece of equipment or a postage cost is deductible, you will know before the end of the day.

🔒

One price, clearly agreed

Your monthly fee is fixed and does not move. No hourly billing, no surprises, no invoice that arrives larger than expected. Your accounting costs are as predictable as any other fixed overhead in the business.

Getting started

Up and running in four steps

Four steps from first contact to everything being handled. No complicated onboarding, no forms that need a lawyer to interpret.

1

Send your enquiry

Fill in the form on this page. Kieran reads every enquiry and responds the same day with a clear next step. No automated holding messages.

2

A short discovery call

Twenty minutes to understand your setup, your eBay sales volume, current software and what needs sorting. By the end of the call you will know exactly what is covered and what it costs.

3

We handle the setup

Your accounting software is connected, your records are brought up to date and everything is configured correctly. You do not need to do anything except confirm you want to proceed.

4

Ongoing — nothing falls through

Monthly bookkeeping, quarterly VAT, annual tax return — handled as a matter of course. Your tax position is visible well before it becomes urgent. Surprises are largely avoidable when the books are current.

“One of the friendliest accounting companies I’ve ever spoken to. I was fairly stressed about all of the big terms HMRC use, but Kieran explained everything in the best possible way, told me the price they’d charge after 5 minutes of speaking.”

Questions

Questions eBay sellers usually ask first

Yes — you will not need to walk us through how eBay pays out before getting a useful answer. Final value fees, insertion fees, promoted listing charges and managed payments settlements are all categorised correctly from the start. It is not unusual complexity for us.
Once your books are current, your tax liability becomes visible throughout the year rather than just at year end. Most clients have a reasonable idea of what they owe three to four months before it is due — long enough to plan for it, not just react.
It is why most people come to us. Getting up to date takes a little longer at the start and may cost slightly more — we will tell you exactly what that looks like before you commit to anything. Once current, keeping it current is straightforward.
No. Month-to-month, cancel with a month’s notice. We would rather keep clients because the service is worth it than because leaving is inconvenient.
