What each side expects
eBay and Dext 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.
Dext
An accounting package wants to know, per line, which ledger account and VAT rate apply, and wants the customer on file as a relation.

Common questions
Can you connect eBay to Dext?
Yes. Schakel connects through the official APIs of eBay and Dext, so you install nothing on your own server and nothing travels outside those two parties.
Which VAT rate do my sales get in Dext?
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 Dext?
Yes. Commission, shipping and other fee types each land on their own ledger account in Dext, 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 Dext by itself. You only open eBay when you want to check something yourself.
What does connecting eBay and Dext 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 Dext?
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 Dext?
A return becomes a credit invoice in Dext 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 Dext does not lag behind what actually sold.
