If I use the PayPal feed, which automatically tags sales to the PayPal client and adds the income to my turnover, how can I account for what portion of those transactions are eBay and what are money requests I generated my self and so on? If I have £1000 PayPal sales t say, and then I input into QF sales from eBay of £650, it will surely show the £650 as turnover, but this is already being shown as PayPal income. I don’t really know how to account for this correctly.
If the original £1,000 includes the £650 why would you enter it a second time?
I understand that, but what i’m saying is if the £1000 was made up of several different sources like eBay, x, y & z then how would you know what amount was from where with just a bunch on PayPal transactions in QF.
If you tag the individual transactions with Ebay, x, y & z then you can see what goes where. I’m not sure I’m entirely following you TBH.
Are you just bulk importing the balance or importing individual transactions?
The feed is setup to Lump all sales under one client and if I click download today’s transactions it shows all transactions separately. Transactions are auto tagged as sales, only refunds and things are not tagged.
I’m just wondering if it would be easier to ignore PayPal merchant account and set up eBay as a merchant account and manually enter sales and fees as lump sums each month. That way I can separate the sources that use PayPal, like eBay and x, y and z. I can’t see why I need PayPal in QF, accept to have somewhere to tag my withdrawals from PayPal to. However there must be a way around this is I remove PayPal from QF all together. I will of course keep separate digital and paper records of individual eBay and other transactions. Do you think this would work?
