Merge Mercari and Bonanza Sales Data for Tax Prep
At tax time you need total revenue by channel without hand-fixing each export's columns first.
Why Mercari and Bonanza exports don't line up
- Mercari: a sold date in the seller's local time; item price and Mercari's selling fee shown separately, with shipping often bundled into the price; an order ID tied to a single sold item. Also, like other reseller apps, the export is minimal with no tax breakdown and mixes cancelled orders into the same file.
- Bonanza: a sale date shown in the seller's account timezone; item price and a Bonanza final value fee that varies by advertising tier chosen per listing; an order ID unique to the marketplace. Also, fee amounts differ per listing based on optional ad placement, so two otherwise-identical sales can show different fee columns.
For tax prep, that mismatch is exactly what causes hours of manual cleanup every period.
How to merge them in under a minute
- Open CSV Experts and set your target columns once (Date, Channel, Order ID, Total).
- Drop in your Mercari export and map its columns once.
- Drop in your Bonanza export and map it the same way — both merge into one sheet, normalized.
- Export as CSV or Excel. Same-layout files merge automatically next time.
FAQ
Does this upload my sales data anywhere?
No. Everything runs in your browser using JavaScript — your files are never sent to a server.
Does it work for more than two channels?
Yes. Add as many source files as you want; each distinct file layout is mapped once and remembered.
