Many retailers start on eBay, because hardly any other marketplace has such amazing dynamism. You just want to clean out the cellar and a few weeks later you find yourself as a power seller.

But from now on, things get stressful: posting items, packing parcels, maintaining contacts. And above all: create and send every eBay invoice. Because that is exactly what commercial retailers are also required to do on eBay. But luckily, there's Billbee, your tool for automatically creating and sending professional invoices. With our eBay billing program, we reduce your stress.

Why eBay

If you're already selling on eBay, we don't need to tell you much about the platform. For everyone else:

eBay is Germany's second-largest online marketplace and is absolutely unrivalled as an auction house in most countries around the world. However, only private individuals work on eBay for a long time. Many large shops use the platform as another sales channel in their multi-channel strategy.

On the one hand, there is an audience of millions waiting here who are used to browsing, discovering and trying out new things. On the other hand, the auction model can be worthwhile in order to sell individual items or remaining stock profitably.

Faster than you can tell: eBay invoice for commercial sales

As soon as you are listed as a commercial retailer on eBay, you must issue invoices for your business customers, private buyers can request invoice documents from you at any time and the tax office wants to see them anyway.

However, commercial selling is faster than most people are aware of. Because in order to avoid penalties, eBay is happy to report hard-working retailers to the tax authorities themselves. According to the statutes, this can happen from as little as 30 sales per year.

It is therefore better to prevent legal hassle and generally send invoices for your sales on eBay — even if you are still trading privately on the platform.

Create an eBay invoice: What must be on it?

It is therefore clear that you should definitely write an invoice. But before you can send your eBay invoice, the first question is what all you need to put on it. Because there are strict rules when it comes to invoices.

By law, your eBay invoice is valid if it includes the following information:

• Your company's name and address
• Name and address of the customer
• Your tax number or sales tax ID
• For customers from abroad, their sales tax ID
• The date the eBay invoice was issued
• Consecutive invoice number
• Quantity and type of products/Scope and type of services
• Time of delivery or service
• Net amount, the resulting tax amount, the tax rate and the gross amount

Of course, you can also include other, voluntary information on your eBay invoice. These include, for example:

• Provide your phone number or email address
• Payment deadline and details of bank details or payment options

As you can see, there is a lot to consider before you can send your finished eBay invoice. As a legal document, creating an invoice is a time-consuming task. No information should be missing; transmitting and verifying it manually often costs hours. Mistakes can have bad consequences — from dissatisfied customers to stress with the tax authorities.

To make the process easier for you, our invoicing program makes it easy for you to automatically generate and send your eBay invoice.
