Deterministic Engineering Architecture

How the Clearing Account method fixes eBay & Etsy 1099-K reconciliation

Stop Recording Net Deposits as Sales

Booking net eBay or Etsy bank transfers straight to Sales understates gross receipts against Form 1099-K Box 1a and hides Final Value Fees, Etsy Offsite Ads, and shipping label deductions.

Isolate Promoted Listings & Label Purchases

eBay Transaction Reports and Etsy Monthly Statements net USPS/UPS label purchases and ad clicks out of seller balances. Clearing journals split marketing and postage into proper expense accounts.

One Workflow Across 4 Marketplaces

Use our free Excel workbook for manual monthly summaries or run the offline ClearStream CLI/browser kit to auto-parse TikTok Shop, eBay, Etsy, and Whatnot CSVs in seconds.
