Hello dear community! I’m trying my hand as a tradesperson in e-commerce on eBay too, and I’ve actually already managed to generate my first sales of traded goods. Now I’ve actually come across a point that I’m still not entirely sure about after doing a lot of research. Situation 1: I receive an order that was paid very promptly.At the moment I include the invoice in the package, since I have to create an invoice for my bookkeeping anyway. Am I generally obliged to provide the invoice, or do I only have to issue it if the customer explicitly asks? What happens if a business orders from me, how do I see that and how can I get the invoice to them more easily than putting it in the package? I’m simply asking around here so that I can use a GoBD-compliant solution that is also easy to handle in terms of effort. Situation 2: eBay has already made a debit from my account for fees, so far so good, everything correct. However, for proper bookkeeping I need an invoice for this (at least that’s what I assume) will that still come? (Since these are monthly invoices) Or do I need to get in touch with eBay separately about this? If these questions have already been asked more often and I just can’t find any of it, then sorry in advance.... Thank you very much in advance. Kind regardsMaximilian from Preuß GmbH
