![]() ![]() ![]() I’ll miss GoDaddy’s automation, but not having to spend a week at the end of each year trying to track down all the stuff it goofed up won’t be. Like everyone else, there doesn’t seem to be a good, general-use tool for grabbing bank transactions, so I’ve been doing it manually. Moving forward, I’ll be using eBay’s own reports and my usual financial tracking/budgeting software to track business expenses that aren’t in the eBay reports. Seeing the price of the competition, I guess you get what you pay for. I guess for most of us the numbers reported by GoDaddy were “close enough” to use for tax purposes, but it still worried me a great deal that it had so many weird quirks. This signals to me that they weren’t confident in the software and didn’t want to risk hosing a bunch of accounts at once if their “fix” didn’t work. The team working on it has been aware of technical issues in the past, but required you to call in and have them apply the fix (see: FedEx labels) instead of just applying the fix to every account.I later found it was adding a few hours onto the timestamp of each transaction, rolling some off to the next day. A few months ago I realized some sales weren’t reported, but GoDaddy claimed it had pulled the latest data from eBay.I’m not convinced these were ever fixed properly. In 2020 it started missing FedEx labels, and in 2021 mislabeled credits as additional expenses rather than income. ![]() ![]() GoDaddy was convenient, but frequently made mistakes: It’s a data salad that has to be waded through. I have 20 years plus experience in accounting and I can say with confidence that their data exporting, is not easy. I find eBay’s glib attitude towards their data exporting to be frustrating. Once I fully understand how to use the product, I’ll drop back down to the 20 bucks per month and manage myself. It’s expensive, but Quickbooks is the industry standard and book keeping for business is all they do. I plan on then paying $200.00 a month for the live bookkeeping service until I get a handle on managing the work flow myself. I decided it wasn’t worth my time to mess around, and paid Quickbooks a flat $500.00 fee for their live book keeping department to import all my data since Jan 1st. I am still wading my way through the transition. It’s an entirely new work flow, and takes a lot of set up in order to work properly. Actual results may vary by customer.Just a heads up – switching to Quickbooks (especially if you are mid range seller with of high volume of transactions) is NOT easy. All my questions were promptly answered, they were fast and clear in the response. One of the reasons people seek these services is because they are starting from scratch and they are totally new in the process. Actual results may vary by customer.ĭoola = First Milestone… Doola Helped me set up the company and account i am so glad that i have a supporting hand sitting there.
