Great people speaking plain English that small business people like me can understand.
I am very thankful for the support by the team of Your E-commerce Accountant. Grace Morphew is very professional and kind who helps with every question you may have. Thank you
Been using Ben and his team from Your Ecommerce Accountant for the last 3 months — top class service and communication. They have been a great relief for me and my brother running a start up in the UK — highly recommend them. No hidden costs, great service and get the job done when asked.
I've been using Your Ecommerce Accountants for the past two years and couldn't be happier with their service. Ben has always been very helpful, approachable whenever I've needed support. It's good to have someone reliable who understands the needs of an e-commerce business.
I've been working with Ben and the rest of the team for the best part of 10 months, so happy to have engaged him in regards to my HMRC affairs. We are getting through it slowly but surely. Overall a wholesome experience. Thank you Your Ecommerce Accountant.
Ben was really nice and knowledgeable and was able to answer any queries we had. The process couldn't have been easier with our accounts and corporation tax. Quality service all round providing tax saving tips and advice. Will definitely be using their services again for next year's accounts.
Honestly, I couldn't have made it through the last few years without this company! I have no idea about returns, accounts or anything like this and I knew I could just email and I would get a quick response with help from a number of staff. Stefi, Anshe, Georgia and Giedre to name a few! You are truly amazing.
Helps us take the load of doing VAT returns and annual financial statements. Your Ecommerce Accountant is also great at communication.
I can't say enough good things about the service at YEA. Everyone I've interacted with has been professional and highly committed. My primary contact is Grace, and she is an absolute gem. Grace is the perfect example of someone who goes above and beyond for her clients. She has a truly proactive approach, consistently finding ways to help my business grow without me even having to ask. For a business in its initial stages, this kind of support is invaluable. She's not only punctual and knowledgeable but also takes the extra mile to find solutions for every problem. Her dedication and willingness to help are truly exceptional, and she's a major reason why I'm so happy with the service I receive.
I recently had the opportunity to engage in an initial consultation with Colin regarding VAT considerations for my Shopify store, especially concerning sales in other countries. Colin showed a great understanding of my situation, acknowledging my status as an accountant with limited VAT expertise diving into a new business venture. What I appreciated most about Colin's approach was his genuine concern for my best interests. Rather than pushing for immediate engagement, he recognised that, at this early stage, I am capable of managing certain aspects independently. His recommendation to postpone our collaboration until my shop is fully operational demonstrated both his integrity and commitment to providing value. He came across as approachable and knowledgeable. I appreciated Colin's transparency regarding fees and service offerings. He outlined the benefits of each option, ensuring I had a clear understanding of what would best serve my long-term interests. His professionalism, transparency, and genuine concern for my business's success were evident throughout our interaction.
I had a chat with Ben this morning and he provided enormous clarity allowing me to clearly see what my best course of action is going forward into the first year of setting up a dropship ecommerce business. He didn't try and sell me any services or products from his end whatsoever — just a genuine motive to help. It was very refreshing, and it was 9am Monday morning! My biggest concern was about IOSS and he dealt with that very quickly. The other major gremlin was submitting quarterlies when setting up a LTD company, and the bottom line was that until turnover reaches 85K there is very little need to worry about all that. I had read a huge amount and spent months researching my options and Ben cut through everything in about 10 minutes! I highly recommend anyone who is feeling blinded by the accountancy aspects of dropshipping get in touch with Ben because, as I say, the fog has lifted!
Ben and the team are really helpful. The thought of doing our own accounts is headache-inducing. Accounts is a part of our business we don't have to worry about and we trust the team to take care of things. They really understand ecommerce accounting and the nuances it involves — do not go to a traditional accountant if you sell online.
Business went from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands within a year. Having the correct accountant in place allows me to focus on this growth, as there is no way I would feel comfortable making this level of sales. It feels a bit like being on a NASA rocket — and luckily Your Ecommerce Accountant has the system which can keep up and give me confidence to truly reach for the stars.
Ben and his team were excellent. Pragmatic and helpful for us as a small company. Good communication and responsiveness. Deep understanding of different e-commerce platforms (Shopify, Amazon, Etsy etc), integrations and sorting the right tax treatment for all that.
As a rapidly growing UK seller, I have been wanting to expand further to the US market and Ben has provided me with very good knowledge on this. This gives me a smooth transition to the US markets doing online arbitrage, hitting the biggest Amazon market in the world.
Had some inquiries about the process of self assessment and going into MTD. Samuel was very straight forward and clear, he took the time to understand my plans and gave me peace of mind. I'd recommend anyone to at least book the free consultation call. When you book you can leave some info about the situation or questions you would like to know, and when the call comes the 20 minutes you get is packed full of great knowledge, advice, peace of mind and value.
Had a great intro phone call with Samuel. He was super helpful, very informative but to the point — gave me the exact advice I was looking for about a few UK/US questions. I plan to work with these guys in the future. Definitely recommended.
Had a call with Colin Smith. I must say he was ready to answer all my questions and give me clarity on all grey areas. I will definitely recommend working with the e-commerce accountant.
After discovering Your Accountant on YouTube and finding their video series genuinely insightful, I decided to take up their complimentary call and I'm glad I did. Speaking with Sam was effortless, and his practical guidance was impressive for what was essentially a free consultation. I came away feeling confident and clear about my next steps. Should the need arise, I wouldn't hesitate to engage their full services; it's clear they have a wealth of accounting expertise to offer any business.
Your support recently has been nothing short of incredible. I especially appreciate Ben coming up with new ways of working and trying to make my role easier. Ben has clearly and accurately clarified my hours and hours of research and pointed me in the right direction.
Really pleased with the services offered by these guys. Completely free helpful advice with no pressure to sign up to services, thank you very much.
Clear, concise information all relevant to what I needed. No pressure to sign up or transact anything. Very helpful, thank you Sam!
Had a free consultation with Ben today. It was super helpful and he answered all of my questions. Thank you Ben!
Amazing company, extremely knowledgeable staff. Highly recommend.
Being the owner of multiple properties, I discovered I wasn't utilising my properties effectively so as to gain the most out of them financially. Thanks to that video it has changed my life and my family's tremendously. My eternal gratitude to you, keep up the good work.
I watched your video explaining side hustles and CIC status in light of the HMRC changes. It was very informative — definitely better to be prepared than sorry. Quality information!

Samuel and the team at your ecommerce accountant rescued me from a potentially very costly mess I was in due to incorrect advice about my eBay seller account and VAT registration from my local accountant.
My eBay business completed it’s first year of accounts with Ben and his team. It was refreshing to work with a company who understood managed payments and general ways of working in the eCommerce world.
You've seen the services. This is the part that actually changes your numbers.
Most eBay sellers can't tell you their real margin, because the payout figure hides it. We separate cost of goods, eBay fees and Promoted Listings spend so you can see what each product actually earns — and build a profit and loss that stands up to an investor or a buyer.
Flat Rate, the Margin Scheme for second-hand goods, or standard VAT — for an eBay business the right choice can save thousands, and the wrong one quietly costs you every quarter. We work out which fits your model, when to join, and just as importantly, when to come off.
We'll tell you when the numbers say it's time to add Amazon, Shopify or Etsy, and help you do it profitably. Selling into the US or EU? We handle the sales tax and VAT registrations, then take over the filings, so the admin isn't the reason you stay domestic.
We track the same numbers investors look at, and benchmark you against the other eBay sellers on our books. You'll know which products deserve your cash, and whether a 14% margin is good or poor for your model, instead of guessing.
EcomLedger connects straight to your eBay account and reconciles your payouts against your accounts, so you never send us a report. It's ours, so when eBay changes something — new fee lines, payout timing — we fix it rather than wait for a plugin vendor.
We only work with online sellers, so the question you're about to ask, we've answered before. Book the free call and we'll tell you where you stand — whether or not you end up a client.
Most accountants take ages to reply to queries, we have an SLA of two working days to get back to you.
We are experts in ecommerce with experience of over 500 clients
We have developed our own software, eComLedger so you do not have to constantly send us reports. We combine this with Dext to ensure it is as easy as possible for you to share invoices with us.
We have a client area which is dedicated to teaching you the skills to unlock your potential, understand your numbers, make better decisions and make more profit.
Some accountants leave identifying tax savings to chance. We track it against every client so you can keep as much as your profit as possible.
Yes, if you sell enough. Since 1 January 2024, eBay has had to report sellers to HMRC when they make 30 or more sales, or receive more than €2,000 (about £1,700), in a calendar year. eBay sends HMRC your name, address, date of birth, National Insurance number, total earnings and fees, and gives you a copy of what it shared.
Being reported doesn’t mean you owe tax. It means HMRC can compare your eBay income with what you’ve declared. Where the two don’t match, HMRC may send a “nudge letter” asking you to check your position.
If you receive one, don’t ignore it. Work out whether your selling counts as trading (see below), gather your eBay sales and payout reports, and reply by the deadline on the letter. If you should have been declaring income, a voluntary disclosure normally means lower penalties than waiting for HMRC to open an enquiry. if you want to find out more read our ebay HMRC letter article. We deal with these letters every week; book a free call and we’ll tell you where you stand.
Selling your own unwanted belongings is generally not taxable, even if you sell a lot of them. Clearing out the loft isn’t trading. (Valuable personal items sold for over £6,000 each can be subject to Capital Gains Tax, but that’s rare.)
You’re likely to be trading if you buy items with the intention of reselling them for profit, sell regularly, sell similar items repeatedly, or repair or improve items before selling.
If you’re trading, the first £1,000 of sales a tax year is covered by the trading allowance. That’s £1,000 of gross sales before costs, and it’s one allowance across all your side income, not £1,000 per platform. Above that, you must register for Self Assessment by 5 October after the end of the tax year. You then deduct either the £1,000 allowance or your actual costs (stock, eBay fees, postage), whichever saves more tax.
eBay seller accountants are specialist team of ecommerce accountants who understands the accountancy needs of eBay sellers – primarily by working with them daily.
Whether you run a thriving eBay store or are starting to expand a side hustle, you’ll need an ecommerce accountant. Using our specialised industry knowledge, our eBay accountants can help you set up a new company, sort out your self-assessment tax liabilities, and be VAT-compliant.
We can help you run your eCommerce business more efficiently and identify opportunities and strategies for growth. Our experienced accountants can help you navigate managed payments, seamlessly connecting to your eBay account so you don’t need to run endless reports on sales and fees. And because we know the tax requirements of each eBay marketplace, you can sell in multiple markets stress-free.
As ICAEW chartered eCommerce accountants, we know your issues as an eBay seller. We connect you to the best accountancy software and tools to streamline business efficiency.
But what sets our accountants apart is their understanding of the eCommerce environment and the specialised advice they deliver. Because we know the challenges eBay sellers face, we can give our clients the confidence to sell via eBay, knowing they’re fully compliant.
If you’re VAT registered and sell second-hand goods you bought without VAT (from the public, house clearances or other Margin Scheme sellers), the Margin Scheme lets you pay VAT on your profit rather than the full selling price.
Example: you buy a used camera for £100 from a private seller and sell it on eBay for £160.
That’s £16.67 more profit on a single item. Across a year of sales it can decide whether your business is viable once you’re VAT registered.
The catches: you need a stock book recording each item’s purchase and sale, you can’t show VAT separately on invoices, and it only applies to eligible goods. Get it wrong and HMRC can charge standard VAT on everything. We set it up properly and check it every quarter.
We recommend our eBay seller clients use Xero and Quickbooks for many reasons. Both cloud-based systems are straightforward and integrate directly with your eBay seller account. Using the best accountancy software ensures the smooth running of your day-to-day business.
We’ll set up your accountancy software to deliver real-time information so you can manage your cash flow and finances more effectively
When you start selling on eBay, you won’t have to register for VAT if your annual turnover remains below £90000. Once you cross that threshold, you must register with HMRC and charge VAT on your eBay sales.
Recent changes to the e-commerce VAT rules have made selling through platforms like eBay a more complex tax environment. However, we can help you navigate the new rules in a way that a traditional accountant can’t match.
To avoid any issues (such as registering for IOSS when selling into the EU) when selling internationally, we can help you register for VAT and meet your tax liabilities.
eBay charges UK sellers 20% VAT on its seller fees: final value fees, listing fees, Promoted Listings and shop subscriptions. Whether you get that VAT back depends on your position.
Getting this wrong is one of the most common errors we see. Payouts arrive with fees already deducted, so sellers record the net payout as sales and miss both the fee expense and the VAT.
Most eBay sellers start as sole traders. It’s simpler, cheaper to run and you pay Income Tax and National Insurance on your profits.
A limited company usually makes sense once profits are consistently high enough that corporation tax plus a salary and dividends works out cheaper than Income Tax. It also helps when you want to keep personal assets separate from the business or plan to grow and reinvest. The trade-offs are more admin: annual accounts, a corporation tax return, a confirmation statement and payroll.
There’s no single profit figure where switching always pays, because it depends on your other income and what you draw out. We’ll run the numbers for both on a free call. If you go limited, our registered office service keeps your home address off Companies House and helps with eBay’s business verification.
If you’re a sole trader, yes, depending on your income. MTD for Income Tax started on 6 April 2026 for sole traders and landlords with qualifying income over £50,000. It extends to those over £30,000 from April 2027 and over £20,000 from April 2028.
“Qualifying income” is your total gross self-employment and property income before expenses, so a seller with £35,000 of eBay sales but modest profit is still caught from 2027. You’ll need MTD-compatible software, quarterly updates to HMRC and a final year-end return.
