Does anyone work with an ebay seller and mind sharing with me how they do it. I am assuming that the easiest way would be for me to have the sellers ebay sign in details and password so that I can go into the account and record the transactions.
His previous bookkeeper set up his accounts on Google docs using a simple spreadsheet so the idea is that we both have access to the shared online document therefore cutting out the hassle of travelling to handover inforamation.
This is my first client and I have no previous bookkeeping experience so any advice you can share with me regarding working with an ebay seller would be greatly appreciated. I have a meeting with the client on Tuesday and I really want to come across as being as professional as possible and want him to feel safe with me doing his bookkeeping.
Thank you in advance for any help or advice you can offer
I have a client who sells second hand clothes on eBay. All her sales are via PayPal so all I get her to do is to print off a PayPal report once a month and summarise the sales into a spreadsheet. I then summarise her bank statements and match the transactions. It's very easy and you shouldn't have any trouble.
Haven't used Google Docs myself, but I do like the idea of both of us having access to the data.
