Ask DashVue: plain-English answers about your own business

Ask DashVue questions about your orders, fees, profit and VAT in plain English and get answers pulled from your own account data.

Ask DashVue lets you type a plain-English question about your orders, fees, profit or VAT and get an answer worked out from the figures already sitting in your DashVue account, instead of digging through reports yourself.

What you can ask

Ask DashVue is built to answer questions grounded in the data DashVue already holds for your store, such as:

  • Orders: how many you had in a period, or details about a specific order.
  • Fees: what eBay charged you, or which fee type cost the most.
  • Profit: how much you made, or which listings are performing best or worst.
  • VAT: what your VAT position looks like based on the figures in your account.

Type the question the way you would ask a colleague, there is no special syntax to learn.

How to ask a question

  1. Open Ask DashVue in your dashboard.
  2. Type your question in plain English, covering orders, fees, profit or VAT.
  3. Send the question.
  4. Read the answer that comes back.

Where the answers come from

Ask DashVue only answers from your own DashVue data: the orders, fees, profit calculations and VAT figures already recorded in your account. It does not look up general eBay seller advice, current eBay policy, or anything from outside your account, so it will not answer questions that are not about your own business figures.

Beta feature with an hourly limit

Ask DashVue is a beta AI feature and part of the AI add-on, so questions draw on your AI actions allowance. It is currently limited to 20 questions per hour. If you hit that limit, wait for the next hour before asking more.

Answers cover your data only

Because Ask DashVue answers only from your own account, it cannot advise on general eBay selling questions, tax rules for other businesses, or anything not already reflected in your DashVue figures. For the full detail behind an answer, check the relevant report, such as your profit and loss or tax summary, rather than relying on the chat answer alone.
