# eBay money: months, payouts and the Seller Hub report

> eBay's transactions come from its Finances API a month at a time. Each site's month posts as one entry and each payout is matched to your bank. Seller Hub's transaction report fills in history, or stands in where the API can't be used yet.

## Bring eBay's money in

**Where in Bookalyze:** Commerce → Settlements → eBay

Once eBay is connected, a year of rows comes in a month at a time, and the last three weeks are read again for late changes. Each row sits on its order's eBay site. Sales have their fees split out; transfers and withdrawals are money moved, not earnings.

## Seller Hub's transaction report

Upload Seller Hub → Payments → Reports → **Transaction report** (CSV) to fill in history. Rows on days eBay's API already brought in are left out, and the API replaces report rows when it reads those days, so nothing counts twice.

> **Caution:** eBay asks UK and EU sellers' finance requests to be digitally signed, which Bookalyze doesn't do yet. Until then, those sellers upload the report.

## Post and match

With How eBay posts set up, each site's month posts on its last day (reference like EBAY-2026-09). **Payouts to your bank** suggests each payout's deposit; only payouts eBay says were sent can be matched.
