Reseller OS vs a spreadsheet
A spreadsheet is the right first answer, and most resellers start there. It stops being the right answer at the point where you are retyping the same order from three places and the profit column no longer matches the bank.
| Reseller OS | a spreadsheet | |
|---|---|---|
| Cost | Free during the beta. | Free, or a few pounds for a template. |
| Typing | Order emails become orders; eBay and Vinted sales arrive on their own. | Every row typed by hand, from the email, the app and the bank. |
| Fees | Real fees on connected sales, and your own rules everywhere else. | A formula you wrote, which is right until a platform changes its fees. |
| Mistakes | The maths is the same on every row and cannot be dragged one row too far. | One wrong formula changes a total quietly, and nothing tells you. |
| Ownership | Files on your own computer, exportable to CSV and Excel any time. | Your file, on your computer or your cloud drive. |
| Tax time | A tax-year summary from the same records. | Whatever you remembered to add up. |
No third-party figures on this page; it compares the app to keeping your own sheet.
