Why eBay Resellers Leave QuickBooks
✗Annual price increases of 10-15%
✗User caps force expensive tier jumps
✗Complex interface overwhelms small operators
✗Desktop version being sunset - forced to Online
✗Payment processing fees add up fast
✗No offline capability
✗QB controls 85% of this market. It's technically a monopoly. The FTC has a long issue with Intuit over pricing.
✗400% increase since 2023. We used to update every 2 years for $250. Now subscription is $689.
✗An almost 70% price increase for your most used product and all you guys are adding is a bunch of AI slop.
You shipped 12 orders today and listed 8 new items. You sold $480 this week but eBay took $62 in final value fees, $18 in promoted listing fees, and you had 2 returns totaling $45 in refunds plus return shipping. Your actual deposit was $355. You sourced $200 in new inventory at garage sales Saturday. What's your real profit this month? The spreadsheet says $1,100 but your bank account says $740.
eBay Resellers face unique challenges: eBay fee structure changes constantly — final value fees, promoted listing fees, payment processing. Tracking cost basis on hundreds of items from different sourcing methods. Returns and 'item not as described' cases wiping out profits. eBay managed payments holding funds for 2-3 days. On top of all that, QuickBooks charges $55/month ($660/year) — money that comes directly from your revenue. The median eBay reseller earns $33,000/year. Software at $660/year is a meaningful percentage of that income, every year, forever. And you do not own anything.
Your Thermal label printer (Rollo or DYMO) is yours. You bought it once. Nexa works the same way — $279 once for invoicing, scheduling, CRM, time tracking, and full accounting. All connected. All offline-capable. You own it like you own your tools.

Why ebay resellers leave the big platforms
quickbooks: $55/month when your margins are already thin after eBay fees. That's $660/year to track what should be simple math.
wave: Free but eBay's managed payments CSV exports are a mess and Wave can't parse them cleanly.

FAQ
Is Nexa really a QuickBooks replacement for ebay resellers?
For solo operators and small teams (1-5), yes. Nexa includes invoicing, scheduling, CRM, time tracking, task management, and full accounting. QuickBooks may be better if you have a large team (10+) or need enterprise-specific features.
$279 seems like a lot.
It's $7.75/month over 3 years. QuickBooks is $55/month — that's $2,214 over 3 years. Which is more? And if you'd rather split it, Nexa is also available as 3 payments of $99.
Can I pay in installments?
Yes. Nexa is $279 as a one-time payment, or 3 payments of $99 ($297 total). Either way it's a one-time purchase — no subscription, no recurring fees ever.
What if I don't like it?
30-day money-back guarantee. Full refund. If Nexa doesn't save you $500 in year one, you get every penny back.
Can I import my QuickBooks data?
Export your data from QuickBooks as CSV, import into Nexa in about 5 minutes.
