eBay Xero Integration
Nventory syncs products, listings, and inventory levels between eBay and Xero. Orders from eBay are imported into Nventory's dashboard for centralized fulfillment management.

Good to Know
Platform restrictions outside any integration tool's control
Customer databases cannot be synced between ecommerce platforms and accounting systems through Nventory
Nventory does not create or sync invoices in accounting systems. Order data is available in Nventory's dashboard but does not push to your accounting software
Xero's inventory management is basic — no multi-location, serial number, or condition tracking. eBay sellers dealing in used, refurbished, or one-of-a-kind items need a separate inventory system.
Things to Consider
Platform-specific details and how they affect this integration.
eBay listings use item numbers and SKUs, while Xero uses tracked inventory items. Auction-style and fixed-price listings may have different structures. Without proper mapping, product sync creates duplicates or fails to link listings to Xero items.
Nventory maps eBay listings to Xero tracked inventory items using your SKU as the primary identifier. Both auction-style and fixed-price listings are supported. You can review the mappings in the sync dashboard before enabling automatic sync.

Frequently Asked Questions
No. Nventory syncs products and inventory levels between eBay and Xero, and imports orders into its own dashboard for fulfillment management. It does not create invoices or financial transactions in Xero.
No. Customer database sync is not supported. Nventory focuses on product catalog sync, inventory level sync, and centralized order management.
Yes. The integration syncs product listings and inventory from all eBay categories, including Motors and specialty categories.
Xero tracking categories are managed within Xero itself. Nventory focuses on syncing product and inventory data between eBay and Xero.
Inventory quantities in Xero are updated within minutes of an eBay sale. Nventory detects stock changes via eBay's API and pushes updated quantities to Xero on a scheduled sync cycle. Xero's API rate limit of 60 calls per minute is managed automatically by Nventory.
Nventory syncs product pricing in your base currency. eBay sellers operating on international sites (UK, AU, DE) sell in local currencies, but Xero's native multi-currency feature handles exchange rate conversion for financial reporting. Currency management is handled within Xero's own settings.
First confirm that multi-currency is activated in your Xero organization, as this feature must be enabled before foreign currency transactions can be recorded. Check that Xero's exchange rate source aligns with eBay's conversion rates to minimize discrepancies, and ensure you have a realized currency gains/losses account configured in Xero to capture any exchange rate differences at reconciliation time.
