how to generate a purchase history report for tax year 2025 for tax deductions

Question

When filing as a business, not a hobby, what is the most efficient way to generate a purchase history report from eBay to total up the initial cost of purchases made that are deductible from the taxable income for tax year 2025?

You can request a report of your transactions by date range here:

https://www.sarweb.ebay.com/sar

Reports take a week to generate, one at a time, and then you must use the resulting link within another week before it expires. Transaction data is quite basic: item name and number, date, price, shipping, seller username. No pictures or descriptions.
