Accountants for Amazon, eBay and Shopify sellers
Marketplace payouts, fees, VAT and stock reconciled properly, so you know your real profit on every channel.
Online selling needs specialist bookkeeping
Amazon and eBay pay you a net amount after fees, refunds, advertising and sometimes VAT. If only those payouts are recorded, your sales, costs and VAT are all wrong. We break every payout down so your books show gross sales, every fee and your true margin.
How we help online sellers
Payout reconciliation
We reconcile Amazon, eBay, Etsy, Shopify, PayPal and Stripe settlements with your bank, using tools such as A2X or Link My Books with Xero or QuickBooks.
VAT for online sellers
We monitor your turnover against the £90,000 VAT threshold, register you when needed and advise on the right scheme. If you sell to customers abroad, we explain where you may need to register or charge VAT, and how marketplace rules affect you.
Stock and cost of sales
Stock bought from suppliers, held in FBA warehouses or in transit is valued correctly at the year end, so your profit and tax are accurate.
Platform reporting to HMRC
Online marketplaces now report sellers' income directly to HMRC. We make sure what you declare matches what the platforms report, so you are not caught out.
Growing your store
When your sales grow, we help you decide when to move from sole trader to limited company and how to fund stock without running short of cash.

Common questions
Does Amazon pay VAT for me?
Only in some cases, mainly when the seller is based outside the UK. Most UK-based sellers must register and account for VAT themselves once they pass the threshold.
Does HMRC know what I sell online?
Yes. Under the digital platform reporting rules, marketplaces such as Amazon, eBay, Etsy and Vinted collect sellers' details and report their income to HMRC each year.
Do I need to pay tax if I only sell a little online?
If you are trading, you must declare your profit. The £1,000 trading allowance means you may not need to register if your total trading income is below that amount. Selling your own unwanted items is not trading.
