Is there more detail available? Is the integration available with the desktop version or only the online version? What data does it provide? Can the integration be used to capture information needed to file a Schedule C on a US Federal income tax return? Will the same data be made available to third-party eBay applications? Finally, why not total and summarize sales, fees, postage, and other amounts that add up to the payout amount? If eBay can integrate with QuickBooks, a rather pricy application, why not provide the same information to sellers in a convenient form for input into less expensive applications like Quicken?
Etsy’s Quickbooks Simple Start monthly subscription is $7.50/month with a 30% increase after 3 months.
The same plan on eBay is $17.50 with a 30% increase after 12 months.
Wow.
