Transparent methodology
What the result includes—and what it does not
Built for eBay sellers and bookkeepers matching Payments transactions to payout batches before comparing them with a bank statement.
Calculation method
- 1Every non-payout transaction carrying a Payout ID is grouped into that payout and its Net amount contributes to expected net proceeds.
- 2Payout date and status are retained when present. If the same report includes a row classified as the payout transfer, its absolute amount becomes the reported payout and variance is reported as transfer minus linked expected net.
- 3When a transfer row is absent, the expected payout group is still exported but reported payout and variance remain unavailable. The tool never substitutes an assumed bank deposit.
Assumptions and limits
- Payout reconciliation requires the Payout ID column; payout date and status are optional but useful for bank matching.
- Not every customized Transaction report contains a standalone payout transfer row. A missing comparison is an information gap, not automatically an eBay discrepancy.
- Currencies are not converted. Bank fees, exchange-rate differences, reserve releases, and transactions outside the report date range may explain a later bank variance.

Frequently asked questions
How does eBay payout reconciliation work in this tool?
The analyzer groups every transaction with the same Payout ID and sums its Net amount. If a payout transfer row is present, it compares that transfer with the grouped total. It keeps the comparison blank when the report does not contain an amount representing the transfer.
Why is reported payout blank for some payout IDs?
A Transaction report can carry payout IDs on sales and fees without including a separate transfer row. In that case the tool can calculate the expected linked net but cannot know what reached the bank, so it labels the comparison unavailable rather than treating zero as the payout.
Can I use the payout table to match my bank statement?
It provides payout ID, date, status, expected net, reported transfer where present, and variance as a review-ready export. You still need the bank statement for final matching, especially when currency conversion, bank fees, reserves, or date-range boundaries apply.
Does payout reconciliation include product costs and profit?
The same engine can also match a cost file and calculate order and product profit, but product cost is not subtracted from the eBay payout itself. A payout is marketplace cash movement; profit additionally subtracts inventory and other seller-paid costs.
