The wedge

What most eBay analytics tools quietly get wrong

US-built tools bolt on UK VAT as an afterthought. Here's what they get wrong.

Wrong numbers, plausible-looking

eBay's seller dashboard shows gross sales — no VAT split, no COGS, no margin. Generic analytics break silently on FRS and treat Margin Scheme as Standard. Or pay an accountant £80/hr to reconstruct quarterly from raw CSVs.

  • FRS over-reported by 5–15% — Standard-rate maths
  • Margin Scheme treated as Standard — second-hand returns are nonsense
  • Calendar year only — re-cut every report at 6 Apr
  • No input-VAT reclaim on fees — cost of sales overstated
DashVue

With DashVue

UK-VAT-aware, SA103-shaped

Set your VAT scheme once. DashVue produces P&L, per-item, and cash flow reports the way HMRC's self-employment form expects — all three schemes, across the UK tax year, CSV or PDF for your accountant.

  • All three UK VAT schemes — Standard 20%, your FRS rate, Margin (margin-only)
  • Input VAT on eBay fees auto-reclaimed (1/6 of gross UK fees, separate line)
  • UK tax year presets — one click
  • SA103-shaped output, with Margin Scheme HMRC footnote on every export

How DashVue Reports work

  1. 1

    Connect your eBay account

    Read-only OAuth pulls every sale, fee, refund, and payout from your eBay history.

  2. 2

    Set your VAT scheme once in Business Profile

    Standard, FRS (with your sector's percentage), Margin Scheme, or not VAT-registered. Reports respect it automatically.

  3. 3

    Open Reports and pick a view

    Switch between P&L, per-item profit, and cash flow. Any date range — This UK tax year (6 Apr → 5 Apr), Last UK tax year, or custom.

  4. 4

    Export as CSV or PDF

    CSV importable to Xero / QuickBooks / FreeAgent. PDF SA103-shaped, signature-ready for filing or audit.

Reports your accountant can actually use.

Beta is open to UK eBay sellers. Founding-member pricing locked in for early adopters.

Self-Assessment ready — line items map straight to SA103

HMRC's self-employment supplementary form (SA103) has specific boxes the report numbers go into. DashVue's lines match those boxes one-for-one.

DashVue lineSA103 box
Gross salesBox 15 — Turnover
Cost of salesBox 16
Gross profitBox 17 (calculated)
Total expensesBoxes 19–29 (by category)
Net profitBox 31

You still file the form yourself (or your accountant does) — DashVue gives you the inputs, not the submission.

Two HMRC requirements DashVue handles automatically

The compliance details most tools quietly forget.

  • Margin Scheme — invoice statement

    HMRC requires Margin Scheme invoices to include the statement: “VAT is included in the margin between the purchase price and the selling price; the buyer cannot reclaim it.” DashVue auto-includes this on every Margin Scheme PDF and CSV export.

  • Flat Rate Scheme — calculation record

    HMRC requires sellers on FRS to keep a record of their flat-rate calculation each VAT period. DashVue does this every period — your applicable percentage, the gross turnover it was applied to, and the resulting output VAT, all auditable from the report.

What the reports module doesn't do

Honest list, so you know the boundaries.

  • Doesn't file your VAT return or Self-Assessment. Produces the numbers; you (or your accountant) file. Not MTD-certified bridging software.
  • Doesn't sync live with Xero / QuickBooks / FreeAgent. CSV export bridges the gap — no API integration yet.
  • eBay only. No Amazon, Etsy, or Shopify. Multi-channel sellers combine manually.
  • Doesn't forecast or estimate. Reports look backwards. Missing COGS is flagged — never silently guessed.
