      How to organise multi‑platform sales Selling on several platforms means you must track each channel separately, but combine totals for tax. For each platform, record:
      • Gross sales
      • Platform fees (listing fees, transaction fees, payment fees)
      • Shipping income & shipping costs
      • Refunds or cancellations
      Why separate? Platforms charge different fees and payout schedules. Keeping them separate helps you:
      • See which platform is most profitable
      • Reconcile payouts to your bank
      • Avoid mistakes in tax reporting
