PS. I hate doing my taxes.
Not on Ebay. They are just coming out with a report later this month that was announced in the Early Spring Update. But it will only go back up to 90 days at this time. They plan on having it go back further, but there had not said when that will become available.
You are a pretty good size seller. Do you keep your own records throughout the year?
I keep my own records in Microsoft Access. I use the Paypal reports to help me balance my sales, not as my sales records, but to help me make sure that my records in Access are correct and I didn't miss anything. Also from the PP reports I can get my PP fees and any shipping I've paid for.
In Ebay, from our Seller Invoices I get my fees I pay to Ebay.
I could go on, but if you'd be more specific of your needs, maybe I could offer some suggestions.

Sales activity minus eBay fees minus shipping equals total sales, right? Not Purchase activity.
Yes I know what you are talking about. But I was specifically wondering about that 12 month sales figure in the dashboard. Does it include sales tax and shipping collected from the buyer? Because I have no idea how eBay got that number. It's waaaay off compared to me pulling PayPal reports from 3/1/2018 - 2/28/2019 and calculating my gross sales.
No but the reports in PP do.
Well as you know, your dashboard numbers are for the past 90 days. So soon you will be able to pull reports from Ebay to cover what you see on your dashboard. Keeping in mind that the sales figures Ebay shows you are including any cancellations or UID sales you have had.
