I hope any additions to the packing slip will be optional. I don’t want to waste toner on what, IMHO, almost noone is going to look at.

Good to know the sales tax thing is not just me.
Woolrich has made some nice quality true denim curtains in the past that folks do buy on ebay.
I know I’m in the minority, but in my book this one qualifies as “different, slightly annoying” as far as customers go. I don’t see the crazy. But it’s great you were able to get rid of him given how much you disliked the interaction.

I just checked and I have the same issue – no final value fees. Time for another support request!
Just curious – when you activated MP in GDBK, did you delete your old ebay account under “Manage”?
What are you seeing in terms of Sales Tax Collected?
07/29/2020 at 7:47 pm in reply to: ebay managed payments & GoDaddy Bookkeeping – good news I hope #80148The video doesn’t actually have any of the “how to” information that I was looking for. Here’s what I’ve figured out so far myself since getting Managed Payments activated about a week ago (including some unanswered questions):
1) You have to actually do something in your GoDaddy setup in order for the MP transactions to come through. After seeing no new transactions for a few days after starting MP, I went in and added ebay again in the “Manage” section. That did the trick. I did not delete the ebay connection I already had, b/c it said that it would delete all of my previous transactions, and while I could live without transactions from previous years, I need all of my transactions from 2020. Not sure if it is the right thing or not to leave it this way with 2 ebay connections, but I guess I’ll find out soon enough.
2) Major annoyance to me: the Sales transactions no longer include the name/title of the item that was sold, so it’s difficult to tell which sale is which. This is what I’m seeing:
I don’t really see the need to break out shipping and handling separately, but whatever.
3) Not sure what’s going on with sales tax. In the screenshot above, the sales tax line item is zero – I checked the transaction on ebay, and indeed no sales tax was collected on this transaction. Cool. But none of the other MP transactions have a sales tax line item, and some of them *did* have sales tax collected by ebay, so I’m confused and wondering where I’m going to get the sales tax total at the end of the year to be able to subtract from the ebay 1099 which last year included sales tax.
4) I am going to have to get a new bank account at a large bank b/c my small rural local bank does not accept connections from GDBK except for business accounts, but they won’t let me open a business account without a DBA certificate, which it doesn’t really make sense to get for a sole proprietorship business. But I can’t open the account online b/c my mailing address is a PO Box (USPS doesn’t delivery to my house) – have to drive an hour away to go in person to the nearest Wells Fargo. Hopefully GDBK works with personal WF checking accounts – anybody out there have Wells Fargo and GDBK?
I will update this thread if I figure out answers to any of my questions.
What do you click on to get a page like that? I’ve NEVER seen anything like it. I just tried to do bulk shipping labels, and I still don’t see that, but maybe I didn’t go far enough in the process – I didn’t actually *want* to purchase the labels in bulk b/c I check the weight individually as I ship each item and select appropriate shipping for each one individually (I may have listed something as Parcel Select, but will ship as Priority if it works out to be cheaper).
We must be doing things very differently, b/c I never see anything like what you’re talking about. On the Orders page, I select “Print Shipping Label” for an item I want to ship, and then on the next page there is a link to print the packing slip (see the 2 different imgur links I posted). The term “invoice” is never used, except when the packing slip states that it is not an invoice.
Are you doing bulk printing of shipping labels? I never do that, so I wouldn’t know what that looks like and could be the cause of my confusion.
Really? Huh. Mine doesn’t say that.
ebay recently made some changes to the packing slip which I like. I’m using the “message to the buyer” feature. As Sharyn mentioned, it would be nice to add my own custom message. But not a big deal for me.
I wish they would bring back the price information which they took off a while back. Not a big deal, just prefer it the old way. There could be a “gift” option if you don’t want the prices on there.
I think that there are a LOT more important things to be working on than the packing slip, though. That would be my main message back to product and engineering managers.
Ryanne – You are using the term “invoice” – that’s something different from a packing slip. Do you actually mean packing slip?

My understanding is that if you have business policies turned on, handling time won’t show up in the bulk editor – you have to change it in the policies. Maybe your husband doesn’t have biz policies turned on?
Yes! I just did that last week. It was so cool not to have to go into PayPal to do this.
However, I was hoping that doing this through ebay MP would also mean I would get a partial FVF refund corresponding to the partial refund, but so far it doesn’t seem like that has happened. 🙁 It’s not a huge amount of money, of course, but the principle of the thing.
