eBay Accountant UK
NDCA works with UK eBay sellers, from side-hustle traders clearing out stock to full-time multi-channel sellers processing hundreds of orders a month. We reconcile eBay Managed Payments, final value fees and refunds, and handle your VAT, stock and Self Assessment or limited company accounts, for a fixed monthly fee as an ACCA-regulated practice.
As an accountant for eBay sellers UK, we handle the accounting so you can focus on sourcing and selling: eBay Managed Payments reconciliation, final value fees and promoted listings, VAT and your annual accounts, all covered by one fixed monthly fee with a named accountant who understands how eBay sellers actually work.
Accountant for eBay Sellers UK: How eBay Sellers Get Paid
eBay Managed Payments settlements
eBay pays most UK sellers through Managed Payments, batching sales into payouts after deducting final value fees, so the amount reaching your bank is not the gross sale value. As your accountant for eBay sellers UK, we reconcile each payout against your eBay sales, fees, refunds and shipping labels.
eBay fees
Final value fees, insertion fees, promoted listings and international fee uplifts can all be deducted before you see a payout, and they add up fast across hundreds of listings. We build these into your bookkeeping so your margins reflect what actually lands in your account.
New, used and multi-category selling
Whether you sell new stock, used and refurbished items, or a mix across several eBay categories, we track your stock and cost of goods sold so your margins are based on real figures rather than guesswork.
Multi-channel selling
If you also sell on Amazon, Shopify or Etsy, we bring every channel into one set of accounts. See our wider e-commerce accountant hub if you trade across several platforms.
Tax and VAT for eBay Sellers
Hobby or trading
As an accountant for eBay sellers UK, we always start with the important question of whether your eBay activity amounts to a trade, not simply whether you sell regularly. HMRC looks at your intention to make a profit, how organised and frequent the selling is, and whether goods are bought or made for resale. The £1,000 trading allowance can be useful, but it does not mean you can earn £1,000 tax-free in every circumstance.
VAT registration
UK VAT registration is generally required when your taxable turnover exceeds £90,000 in a rolling 12-month period, or where you expect it to exceed £90,000 in the next 30 days. The rules depend on the nature and location of your supplies, including overseas sales and other sales channels.
Selling to overseas buyers
Selling to buyers outside the UK can create additional VAT and customs considerations. Depending on what you sell and where your buyers are based, eBay may already collect and remit some tax on your behalf under marketplace facilitator rules, but your own VAT position still needs checking.
How NDCA works
As your accountant for eBay sellers UK, you get a named accountant who understands how your eBay shop actually operates, from Managed Payments and platform fees to stock, VAT and your wider business finances. You pay one fixed monthly fee with no surprise bills, and your numbers stay current in Xero throughout the year. We are ACCA-regulated and aim to answer your questions within one working day.
The software we use: Xero and Link My Books
As your accountant for eBay sellers UK, we use Xero as the core bookkeeping platform, paired with Link My Books to pull in your eBay Managed Payments payouts and break each one down into sales, fees and refunds. This gives you an accurate, up-to-date picture of your eBay business without hours of manual reconciliation, and your accountant still reviews the figures each month.
