Keep eBay and Exact Online updated automatically.
Today you sign in to the seller account, look at what sold and carry it over by hand. What you already processed you track somewhere else. This connector fixes that, and we build it on request: what happens in eBay lands in Exact Online by itself, in the shape Exact Online expects. Tell us what you need and we agree exactly what should travel.

What each side expects
eBay and Exact Online do not describe the world the same way. This is what has to line up.
eBay
A marketplace supplies orders with their own order number and their own lines, plus returns and cancellations that arrive separately.
Exact Online
Exact Online works per administration, with its own chart of accounts, VAT codes and relations. An entry lands in a journal, so which journal and which ledger account you use has to be settled up front.

Common questions
Can you connect eBay to Exact Online?
Yes. Schakel connects through the official APIs of eBay and Exact Online, so you install nothing on your own server and nothing travels outside those two parties.
Which VAT rate do my sales get in Exact Online?
The rate is set per line: 21%, 9% or 0%. Sales to Belgium and other EU countries get the rate of the destination country, ready for your OSS return.
Are commission and fees booked separately in Exact Online?
Yes. Commission, shipping and other fee types each land on their own ledger account in Exact Online, rather than in one lump sum, so your margin stays readable.
Do I still have to log into eBay once the connector runs?
No. Once it runs, everything you now look up in the eBay seller account arrives in Exact Online by itself. You only open eBay when you want to check something yourself.
What does connecting eBay and Exact Online cost?
You start free and only pay once the connector is really running. After that the same tiers apply as for any other connector, based on how much runs through it each month.
How often does eBay sync with Exact Online?
That depends on your tier: hourly on the free tier up to real time on the unlimited tier. You can always start a sync yourself as well.
What happens to a return or refund in Exact Online?
A return becomes a credit invoice in Exact Online for the amount actually refunded, not for the whole order, so nothing needs correcting afterwards.
Does the connector also pick up eBay returns and cancellations?
Yes. Besides new orders, Schakel also sees returns and cancellations on eBay, so Exact Online does not lag behind what actually sold.
