The Best Way to Merge Depop and Facebook Marketplace Data for Refund Reconciliation
If you're doing refund reconciliation by hand right now, here's the fastest path from "two exports" to "one usable sheet," and why the manual version keeps breaking.
Step by step
- Decide your target columns once. Most people settle on Date, Channel, Order ID, and Total — set that up in CSV Experts and you won't redo it.
- Import the Depop file first. The first time you see this file shape, you map each of its columns to your target list.
- Import the Facebook Marketplace file the same way. Its columns get mapped once too — after that, every future file with this shape merges with no extra clicks.
- Check the merged totals. Dates and numbers are normalized automatically, so a European "24,00" and a US "24.00" both land as the same value.
- Export. CSV or Excel, ready for refund reconciliation.
What actually goes wrong if you do this by hand
Depop gives you a transaction date column, while Facebook Marketplace gives you an order date recorded through Meta's commerce backend — line those up manually across a few hundred rows and it's easy to miscount a week. On top of that, Depop's export like Poshmark, the export is minimal and mixes sold, refunded, and offer-related rows together, and Facebook Marketplace's many sellers use Marketplace only for listings with no built-in checkout, so exports may only exist via a connected store's own platform. Individually those are minor quirks; combined into one spreadsheet by hand, they're where most reconciliation errors for refund reconciliation actually come from.
Why it matters for refund reconciliation
Refunds are recorded differently enough between platforms that matching them back to original orders is one of the most error-prone manual tasks.
