These numbers come directly from our tax returns. This only includes sales receipts and inventory expenses. There are other expenses, including fees and supplies, and other deductions, including home office expenses, not represented. For more information about bookkeeping, click here. However, this will give you an idea of our annual sales versus inventory expenses.
**NOTE: I would need to go back and check about if the sales receipts below include amounts received for shipping. At some point FedEx fees were rolled into the eBay Seller Fees (or was it always that way?) If so, the cost of shipping is overall around 12% of gross receipts if my memory is correct. I think that some of the receipts may include shipping receipts and others do not - sorry for the oversight, i will figure it out when I get a chance 19.Dec.2018
