See the costs behind each sale.
Your selling price is only the starting point. Flippedit brings supported sales and recorded eBay fees together with the purchase costs and shipping you add. Review what each item earned, then use the wider store view to understand stock, expenses and the next task that needs your attention.
Profit trackingTrue profit on one sale: $58.00 revenue, $7.77 fees, $8.70 ads, $18.00 cost of goods, $23.53 profit (41%).Illustrative example. Item profit is before shared business expenses and income tax.
Fees as charged, not a rate card
eBay changes plans, categories, and per-order amounts. A tracker that estimates 13% will be wrong the week after a policy update. Flippedit records the fee on that sale.
Cost of goods is the gap Hub cannot fill
Seller Hub does not know what you paid at the thrift store. Without that number, a sales report cannot tell you what you kept. You add cost once. The rest syncs.
Ads and refunds belong on the sale
A promoted listing can cost more than the transaction fee. A refund can reverse a week you thought you won. Both have to sit on the item, not in a monthly surprise.
Days to sell on every sale
Profit is only half the story if the item sat for 80 days. Every sold item shows days to sell next to margin, so slow winners stop looking like winners.

What true profit includes.
Sale price is a vanity number. True profit is what landed in your pocket after every cost that belonged to that sale.
Flippedit treats true profit as:
Sale price (including postage the buyer paid) minus eBay transaction fees, promoted listing costs, postage you covered, cost of goods, and refunds.
That is the figure on every completed sale. It is also the figure that rolls into the 31-day store total. On a sample window, revenue is $6,854.36 and expenses are $3,964.22. Profit is $2,890.14, which is 42% for that window. Those expenses are not a round guess. They are the fees, ads, shipping, and costs attached to the 119 items that sold.
If your current “profit tracker” is a column in Google Sheets that subtracts purchase price from sold price, you are missing the part that moves. eBay fees change by plan, category, and whether the sale was promoted. Postage is almost never the label price you typed at list time. Refunds arrive days later and quietly reverse a week you thought you won.
A tracker that does not include those lines is a sales log.
What Flippedit pulls vs what you add.
Flippedit connects through eBay's official API. You authorise the connection in eBay's own login. Flippedit never stores your eBay password.
From eBay, Flippedit pulls:
- Completed sales and sale prices
- Transaction and final value fees as charged
- Promoted listing costs on the sale they belong to
- Refunds and cancellations
- Active listings, so stale stock is visible next to profit
You add:
- Cost of goods (what you paid, including splits from a bulk haul)
- Postage you covered, if it is not already on the sale
- Off-eBay sales you want in the same picture (Facebook Marketplace, a flea market day)
That split is the point. The fees you get wrong in a spreadsheet are the fees eBay already knows. The costs eBay cannot know are the ones only you can type once.
If the job you searched for is “eBay profit tracking software,” Flippedit is the product that replaces the weekly paste from Seller Hub reports.
A real item, not a rate card.
Open a sold item in Flippedit and you get a breakdown card, not a monthly total. One listing from the product itself, a Dead Like Me DVD set:
| Line | Amount |
|---|---|
| Revenue | $21.71 |
| Transaction fees | -$2.88 |
| Ad fee | -$4.34 |
| Cost of goods | -$7.00 |
| Shipping | $0.00 |
| Profit | $7.49 (35%) |
| Days to sell | 56 |
The ad fee is larger than the transaction fee. A spreadsheet that only knocks 13% off the sale would have called this a much fatter flip. The tracker that includes promoted listings tells you the truth: the sale was fine, the ad spend was the story.
That is who an eBay profit tracker is for. Not people who want a prettier sales graph. People who need to stop buying more of a “winner” that is actually paying eBay's ad product.
Who it is for.
Flippedit is for sellers who source to resell and cannot answer “what did I keep last month?” without opening three tabs.
Typical fit:
- You have moved past a handful of sales and the sheet is starting to lie
- You run promoted listings and suspect ads are eating the margin
- You buy lots or thrift hauls and need cost split across many SKUs
- You sell in Australia (or anywhere eBay takes a cut) and want fees as charged, not as a blog post described them last year
- You want the same numbers on your phone between sourcing stops
It is a weak fit if you list a few personal items a year and never care about margin. Seller Hub is enough for that. It is also a weak fit if you want Flippedit to write titles, answer messages, or print labels. That is still eBay's job. Read the Seller Hub comparison if that is the confusion.
What it is not.
It is not a replacement for eBay. You still list and ship in Seller Hub.
It is not a generic accounting suite. There is no bank feed, no tax lodgement, no payroll. There is a profit and loss built from the sales and costs you already track, which is what most eBay sellers actually need at tax time. The tax-shaped page is eBay P&L for tax.
It is not a fee estimator. Estimators use a rate card. Flippedit uses the fee eBay charged on that order. When eBay changes plans (free selling under $25,000 of trailing sales in Australia, Pro Starter at 13.4% including GST, paid Pro plans with lower percentages), the tracker does not need a blog update. The next sync brings the new number.
Why category pages like this exist.
People search “ebay profit tracker” because Seller Hub will not do this job, and a spreadsheet will only do it if you feed it perfectly. The software category is crowded with US tax tools, Chrome extensions that guess fees, and Etsy templates stretched over eBay columns.
Country-shaped pages exist too: Australia, USA, UK, and Canada. This URL stays the generic “what is an eBay profit tracker” page.
The test for any tracker in this category:
- Does it use actual eBay fees per sale?
- Can it attribute promoted listing cost to the sale?
- Does a refund reverse the profit, or does the old number sit there looking healthy?
- Can you see days to sell, so capital time is visible?
- Does it still work on your phone while you are holding the next item?
Flippedit is built around those five. Store health, stale inventory, and goals live next to profit (sell-through and a revenue goal on the same store).
How a week with Flippedit actually feels.
Day one: you connect eBay. History imports. The dashboard is not empty.
Day one to two: you add cost of goods on the items that matter. Bulk tools exist if you bought a lot. Items missing cost data are flagged as “3 items need cost data.” That is deliberate. A profit figure without COGS is still a sales figure.
Every morning and every evening: sales, fees, ads, and refunds from the last half day are in the dashboard. You do not paste a Seller Hub CSV.
When you source: you open the app, see which categories and items actually kept money, and stop repeating the expensive ones.
That is the whole product promise for this URL. Not a dozen extra modules. A number you can trust on each sale, kept up to date.
Pricing, without the feature dump.
Flippedit is $29 AUD a month, or $229 AUD a year, with every feature included.
Free 7-day trial, card required, nothing charged until it ends.
Start with the number you cannot see in Seller Hub.
If you already know last month's true profit within a few dollars, you may not need this. If you know revenue and are guessing the rest, an eBay profit tracker is the gap. Flippedit fills it with the fees eBay charged, the ads you ran, the postage you paid, and the cost you typed once.
Start free trial, connect the store, and look at one sold item the way the Dead Like Me card looks. If that breakdown is clearer than your sheet, keep it. If it is not, cancel during the trial and you are not charged.
A few things you might be wondering.
Get clear on the details before you connect your store.
What is an eBay profit tracker?
It is software that calculates true profit on eBay sales: sale price minus fees, postage, ads, refunds, and cost of goods. Flippedit does this per item, using the fees eBay charged rather than a guessed rate.
Does Flippedit track eBay profit automatically?
Yes. It connects through eBay's official API, imports your history at signup, and syncs sales, fees, refunds, and promoted listing costs twice a day. You add cost of goods.
Is this different from Seller Hub?
Yes. Seller Hub is where you list, ship, and message buyers. It does not know what you paid for the item. Flippedit sits next to Seller Hub and shows true per-item profit.
Who is Flippedit for?
eBay sellers who source to resell and need to know which items, categories, and sourcing days actually make money. If you sell a handful of items a year and never look at margin, you probably do not need it.
How much does the eBay profit tracker cost?
$29 AUD a month or $229 AUD a year, every feature included. Free 7-day trial, card required, nothing charged until it ends.
