What does the eBay Seller Spreadsheet do?
If you’re tired of getting confused by the various list of fees you pay as an eBay seller, get ready for some clarity! In my step-by-step instructions, I walk you through how to find & import in all the fees you want to make sure you understand (so you can make smart business & pricing decisions) and deduct at tax time!
- Quickly import eBay data - Save time by quickly importing your eBay sales & fees each month. The spreadsheet takes the data it needs for you, making less work for you.
- See all your sales in one place - You can also manually input your sales from all your other sources, such as Paypal, Etsy, your own site, in-person events, etc.
- Input expense receipts - Expenses categories each have their own tab. As you make purchases or pay bills throughout the month, you can enter your expenses on a receipt-by-receipt basis in the appropriate category. This means you have a great backup of your expense totals at year-end to backup your tax numbers or give to your accountant.
- Make tax time so much easier - The expense categories roughly correlate to the expense categories on your business' tax return, making the process of doing your taxes a lot more streamlined and simplified for you or your accountant.
- Ensures you're capturing ALL your eBay fees - Don't miss out on deducting the full amount of fees you pay as an eBay seller! Using this system means you're recording ALL those tax deductions in your books so you don't miss anything.
- Calculate net profit or loss each month - Know instantly whether your biz is making a profit or a loss throughout the year, enabling you to make smarter budgeting and goal-setting decisions.
- Deal with sales taxes - Our Seller Spreadsheet includes a tab that will quickly tell you some of the most important data for your state sales tax return, including total in-state sales each month, and sales per state for economic nexus tracking.
The eBay Seller Spreadsheet works with eBay Sellers who use eBay’s managed payments system.

Why A Paper + Spark Spreadsheet?
Traditional bookkeeping software is made with accountants in mind. It’s expensive (and generally requires a monthly subscription payment), bulky, and oftentimes more complicated than a micro business like yours needs. It’s made for any and all types of small businesses, and not specific to YOUR business needs as a handmade biz owner or e-commerce seller. When your bookkeeping software is too complicated, too vague, and support or in-plain-English instruction is lacking, you tend to procrastinate on using it. Not updating your books consistently means severe stress once year end or tax deadlines hit.
Spreadsheets are powerful but simple tools. Partner a well-crafted spreadsheet file designed by an accountant intimately acquainted with e-commerce with clear, understandable instructions and you’ve got a formula for bookkeeping success. You get everything you need to feel empowered by your numbers, and nothing you don’t need.
Paper + Spark has been selling spreadsheets since 2015. We currently support thousands of makers and creative entrepreneurs in doing their books and understanding their money. Our spreadsheets have received countless rave reviews from shop owners. No other bookkeeping solution out there offers our level of step-by-step guidance & support. We also stay up-to-date on e-commerce reporting and platform changes.
With a Paper + Spark spreadsheet, you’ll pay a one-time fee for lifetime access to your files and support. We provide any future year files and updates for free, forever, via the account you create at checkout. You can always reach out in the Accounting Accountability Club, or via DM or email, and get answers to your spreadsheet & bookkeeping questions.
