After spending hours bouncing around eBay I am no closer to re-learning how to find my totals for 2021. What was my gross revenue? How much did I pay in eBay fees? How much did I pay for shipping? For all the reading I've done and the number of times eBay has reminded me of my responsibilities, I should know how to get these figures effortlessly but nowhere can I find the learning resource that tells me how to do this.

IT depends on if you were paid through managed payments all year, or paypal for part of the year, too. If MP all year, ignore the paypal parts about sales -
For sales fees and shipping paid through managed payments, go to your payment account reports and run a transaction report. https://www.ebay.com/sh/fin/summary
For sales paid through paypal, go to paypal and run the annual financial summary. This gives you sales and paypal fees. Also run an activity download report to identify the sales tax included in your gross receipts that you need to subtract.
To get your eBay fees for items paid through paypal, plus any ups & fedex shipping, view each of your eBay invoices here -

For shipping costs paid through paypal, use the activity download report from above.

I went to seller hub/payments/all transactions/custom, changed the dates to Jan 1 '21 to Dec 31 '21. I get all 608 transactions but no totals.
I did use managed payments for the entire year but I paid for eBay labels via PayPal. Should that matter? eBay should know what I paid for a label, right?
Thank you.

Ah, sorry, I should have mentioned that you need to add totals to the columns you want. When you download the report, it is a spreadsheet, so it is easy to add totals.
You shipping label costs will not show up on your managed payment reports if you pay through paypal. You can go to paypal and run an activity report. Again, you'll need to add a total.
As @lady_madonna mentioned, you can also use the sales performance reports, but there your sales include sales tax paid by the buyer, so you need to subtract that. You shipping costs might be picked up there.
I prefer the payment account reports, because you know that they support the cash payouts you received. Theoretically, the performance report should balance to the payment reports, but I have never tried to reconcile them.

Thanks very much to both of you. I got what I needed from the performance report. I couldn't accept as a solution...got a Java error instead. I'm sorry I wasted time on the .csv report. I can't even look at a spreadsheet without getting a headache, let alone figure-out how to make it total. And, I'm perfectly happy not knowing.
Best regards,
Richard
