eBay Seller Accounting
Your eBay accounts, sorted.
Most eBay sellers manage their books themselves until the point where they probably should not. Between reconciling managed payments, tracking platform fees and working out the VAT position, the admin adds up — and compounds quickly as the volume grows. Fixed monthly fee, ICAEW chartered, same-day replies.
- Clean, reconciled books every month — no year-end scramble
- Know your tax position well before HMRC sends the reminder
- VAT threshold monitored — no unexpected registration obligations
- An accountant who already understands how eBay managed payments work
No long-term contract. If it is not working after three months, you leave with clean books and nothing owed.

Sound familiar?
More sales, more admin — and not enough hours?
The more you sell on eBay, the more complicated the numbers become. Managed payments settle at odd intervals, platform fees come out across multiple lines, and before long the bookkeeping is weeks behind and VAT is a question you have been putting off. It is all manageable — it just takes considerably longer the more you leave it.
- Hours lost trying to match eBay payouts against bank transactions
- No clear view of the tax position until the return is already overdue
- VAT threshold approaching with no one tracking how close it actually is
What sorted looks like
Bookkeeping reconciled every month so the numbers are always current. Your tax liability visible throughout the year, not just when HMRC writes to you. VAT monitored and filed — no threshold surprises.
- Books reconciled monthly — eBay fees, refunds and payouts all accounted for
- Tax position visible well before the bill actually arrives
- VAT threshold tracked and returns filed — less of that landing on you
- A fixed monthly cost that does not move, however many questions you ask

Why eBay sellers choose Swift
There is no shortage of accountants. Here is what is different about working with one who already understands how eBay selling actually works.
No explaining how eBay works
Managed payments, selling fees, promoted listing charges, refunds posted across multiple lines — you will not need to spend ten minutes briefing us before getting a useful answer. We work with eCommerce sellers regularly. Ask a question, get an 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 business expense 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 invoice that arrives larger than expected, no additional charge every time you send an email. Your accounting costs are as predictable as any other fixed overhead.
