Step-by-step: download invoices from eBay
- 1
Open Seller Hub
Sign in at ebay.com and go to the Seller Hub. If you do not see it, hover over My eBay and pick Selling. Seller Hub is where all fee statements and payout records live. Buyer invoices for items you purchased live under Purchase history instead.
- 2
Go to Payments in Seller Hub
In Seller Hub, click Payments in the top navigation. This is the section for Managed Payments, which handles all seller fees and payouts. The URL is ebay.com/sh/fin/payments. From here you can see transactions, reports, and monthly invoices.
- 3
Open Reports and pick the invoice type
Click Reports in the left sidebar under Payments. eBay offers several report types, including monthly invoices that summarize fees for the billing period. Pick the month you need. For tax summaries, there is also a 1099-K section for US sellers and a VAT invoice section for EU and UK sellers.

Download the CSV or PDF
eBay offers two formats. The PDF invoice is the legal document with a summary of fees, taxes, and adjustments. The CSV is transaction-level detail. Accountants usually want both (the PDF for the audit trail, the CSV for reconciliation).

File it with your other platform fees
Name the file with eBay, the month, and your account name so you can distinguish it from any other platform fees. Drop it in your accounting folder and note it against the matching payout.
About eBay billing
eBay does monthly fee invoices well on paper. In practice, tracking them across years of selling across multiple accounts and countries gets old fast.
Between listing fees, final value fees, Promoted Listings, Store subscriptions, and the occasional refund, your monthly invoice is a line-item story. Match that against your Managed Payments payouts and the picture gets busy.
eBay seller fees are invoiced separately from buyer-side purchases. If you both buy and sell on the same account, expect two different types of documents in two different sections. Seller Hub for fees. Purchase history for buyer receipts.
About eBay
eBay Inc. is one of the original online marketplaces, founded in 1995. Based in San Jose, it connects buyers and sellers across nearly every country. The platform went through a major billing change with Managed Payments, which brought all seller fees and payouts under the eBay roof (previously handled through PayPal). Today, every seller gets a monthly invoice summarizing fees plus a set of downloadable reports for deeper reconciliation.
Manual vs automated
Manual
- Sign in to Seller Hub
- Open Payments then Reports
- Pick each month individually
- Download PDF and CSV for each
- Separate seller fees from buyer invoices
- File and reconcile against payouts
Automated with Inbox Ledger
- Connect eBay once in Inbox Ledger
- New monthly invoices appear in your dashboard
- Export to Drive, Sheets, or your accounting app
Why people stop doing this by hand
High-volume sellers across multiple accounts or multiple eBay regions (eBay UK, DE, FR all have separate logins and separate invoice flows) run into the same wall. There is no unified bulk download. Each region is its own account. Each month is its own click.
Add in buyer-side invoices for items you purchased for your business (Purchase history, not Seller Hub) and you are juggling two different document types from one platform. The invoice structure is fine once you know where everything is. The problem is doing it every month for the next ten years.
Add the Purchase history side (stuff you bought for the business on eBay) and you now have two document types in two different sections of the same platform, neither of which talks to the other. Most finance teams handle eBay manually until the pain builds, then move to automation.
Next step
If you sell on eBay once a quarter, manual works. If you run an active store across multiple regions, manage eBay for a client, or track both buyer and seller invoices from the same account, connect eBay to Inbox Ledger and let the monthly invoices come in on their own.
Where to look in the dashboard
- Seller Hub → Payments → Reports is where monthly invoices live
- My eBay → Purchase history is where buyer-side invoices for items you bought live
- Seller Hub → Payments → Taxes is where 1099-K forms live for US sellers
- Account Settings → Business Information is where you set the legal entity name printed on invoices
Before you start — quick checklist
- You pulled the seller invoice, not the buyer-side purchase receipt
- The invoice period matches your payout cycle (monthly for most sellers)
- VAT is broken out if you are in a jurisdiction that charges VAT on fees
- Final value fees, insertion fees, and promoted listing fees are all visible on the statement
- Your legal business name matches the one on your eBay account settings
Pro tips
- eBay issues seller invoices monthly even if you had no sales. An empty invoice still counts as a document.
- Managed Payments changed how eBay fees are structured. Older PayPal-era fee invoices are archived separately and not always easy to find.
- Promoted Listings and eBay Store subscription fees are included in your monthly invoice, not billed separately.
- Buyer-side invoices (items you purchased) live under My eBay → Purchase history, not Seller Hub. Different section, different download flow.
- For large sellers, the Transaction report CSV is much more useful than the summary PDF for reconciliation. Download both.
