Dear sellers:
To improve clarity and transparency, starting on October 31, 2025, eBay will begin issuing separate credit notes for all reversals of sellers’ fees, charges, and taxes in the EU. Each credit note will clearly show the credited amounts, as well as references to the original invoice.
What is a credit note? A credit note is a tax document that reduces or fully or partially cancels a current or previous invoice. It confirms that a certain amount – such as a reversed fee, a surcharge, or a refund – has been credited to your account. Like your tax invoice, an eBay credit note is an official accounting and tax document. You must keep it for your accounting records and treat it as a separate document that supplements the original invoice. Together, your invoice and your credit note provide a complete record of your transactions, making VAT reconciliation and reporting easier.
Why this change? This update:
Improves transparency and makes it easier to match charges and reversals,
Aligns eBay’s invoicing process with market best practices.
Our goal is to make invoicing clearer, more transparent, and easier for sellers to manage.
How to access your credit notes Starting on November 1, 2025, credit notes will be available in the same place as your tax invoices – provided as:
PDF summary (for a quick view),
CSV file (for detailed transaction-level information).
