Eligible U.S. eBay sellers receive Form 1099-K electronically in Seller Hub or My eBay. eBay also provides a detailed report listing the unadjusted gross payment transactions included on the form, which is useful for reconciliation.
How to download an eBay 1099-K
- Sign in to the correct eBay seller account.
- Open Seller Hub and select Payments.
- Choose Taxes from the left menu.
- Select the applicable tax year and available Form 1099-K.
- Download the electronic copy and retain the original.
You can also use My eBay Payments and its Payment reports and taxes area. eBay contacts eligible sellers by email when the form is available. Turn off Electronic delivery on the Taxes page only if you also want a physical copy.
Generate the 1099-K detailed report
- In Seller Hub, go to Payments → Taxes.
- Select 1099-K details.
- Choose Generate.
- Wait for eBay’s email notification, then download the report.
In My eBay, use Payments, scroll to Payment reports and taxes, select Form 1099-K, and request the detailed report. This report breaks down the unadjusted gross payment transactions on the form; it is supporting data, not a replacement form.
Understand the reported gross amount
| Item | 1099-K treatment described by eBay |
|---|---|
| Gross reportable payments | Included based on when eBay processes gross funds |
| Fees, discounts, credits and refunds | Not deducted from the gross amount |
| Sales tax and canceled transactions | Excluded according to eBay’s current guidance |
| Payments processed by another provider | May produce a separate provider form |
Reconcile the detailed report with sales, refunds, expenses and outside payment-provider records. Do not treat the gross amount as net profit.
Multiple seller accounts
eBay combines payments and transactions across accounts associated with the same tax ID when testing thresholds, but says an eligible seller receives a separate 1099-K for each account. Collect every account’s form and detailed report and avoid counting a separate PayPal or payment-provider form twice.
Create a reconciliation sheet that records the eBay account, form amount, detailed-report total and any separately processed payments. Match corrections by form year and account rather than replacing the only downloaded copy. If a transaction appears unfamiliar, use its item number and transaction details when contacting official eBay support.
