Had a nudge letter from HMRC about your eBay, Vinted or Etsy sales — or worried one's coming? ExpenseTidy rebuilds your PayPal and bank exports into a clean, gross-to-net record you can actually stand behind.
Free, no card needed. Your statements never leave your browser.
You sold for £100, £82.95 hit your account — and HMRC wants the £100 declared. Get that one wrong and every figure after it is wrong too.
PayPal says one thing, your bank another, the platform a third. Matching fees and postage to each sale by hand is a weekend you'll never get back.
Penalties can land on top of the tax owed — and they climb the longer a letter sits unanswered. The clock starts the day it arrives.
This is the single thing that catches sellers out. Your taxable income starts from the full price the buyer paid, before the platform took its cut and before postage came out. Those costs come off later, as expenses — but only if you can show them.
ExpenseTidy reads each export, matches the fees and postage back to the sale they belong to, and rebuilds the true gross figure — with every line traceable to the statement it came from.
Download whatever you've got — PayPal, your bank, eBay, Vinted, Etsy. CSV files, however messy. No need to tidy them first.
ExpenseTidy reads them right here in your browser, matches fees and postage to each sale, and rebuilds your true gross-to-net figures.
You get a clean summary and a line-by-line trail — the paper you, or your accountant, need the moment HMRC asks "where's this from?"
Being clear about this is the whole point. You're holding evidence, not advice.
What it actually means, what it doesn't, and the calm order to do things in before the deadline.

No. ExpenseTidy organises your records into clear evidence — it doesn't tell you what to declare or what you owe. For advice on your specific position, speak to a qualified accountant. The tool simply makes their job, and yours, far quicker.
It depends on whether HMRC sees you as trading, and on your other income. Selling off your own old things at a loss usually isn't taxable; buying to resell often is. The free guide walks through how that line is drawn.
Anything you can export as a CSV — PayPal, most UK banks, eBay, Vinted, Etsy, Depop and Amazon among them. If you can download a statement, ExpenseTidy can read it.
It's the best time. Reconstructing your records now, calmly, is far easier than scrambling after a letter arrives with a 30-day deadline attached. Tidy once, and you're ready either way.
The calm, plain-English walkthrough of what to do if HMRC gets in touch about your online sales — and how to be ready if they do.
No spam, no card. Just the guide and the odd useful update.
