Orders is where your eBay sales arrive and where you give them their buying price. The header says it plainly: enter the supplier buying price, and profit and analytics update automatically.
The tabs
| Tab | What is in it |
|---|---|
| All | Every order. This is the default. |
| Awaiting cost | Orders with no buying price yet. This is your queue, and its count turns amber when it is not empty. |
| Refunded | Orders with at least one refund. |
| Returned | Orders with at least one return. |
| Cancelled | Orders eBay cancelled. |
All is the default on purpose. The queue used to be, and sellers read it as data loss — you price an order, refresh, and it has vanished from the screen you were looking at. It had simply moved off the queue.
A cancelled order appears on the Cancelled tab only. eBay refunds the buyer when an order is cancelled, but listing it as a refund would be misleading: nothing went wrong, and there is no supplier money to chase.
Date range
Pills across the top: All time (the default), Today, 7 days, 14 days, Month to date, Last month, and Custom for an explicit From and To. Both dates in a custom range are included. "Today" means today in your workspace's time zone, not your laptop's.
The filter chips
A second row of chips narrows by dispatch and delivery. Each shows a count, and chips with nothing in them stay visible and greyed rather than disappearing — a filter that vanishes when it is empty makes you wonder whether you imagined it.
- Awaiting dispatch — not sent yet
- Past dispatch deadline — not sent, and eBay's dispatch-by date has passed
- Dispatched on time / Dispatched late
- In transit / Delivered
- Dispatched without tracking
- Made a loss — profit below zero, and only where the fees are actually known
Clicking an active chip clears it. Picking a chip also switches you back to the All tab, since the chips cut across tabs.
The columns
| Column | What it is |
|---|---|
| Order | The eBay order number. This one cannot be hidden. |
| Date | When it was ordered. A refunded or returned order shows both dates. |
| Buyer | The eBay buyer username. |
| Product | The first line's title and SKU, with "+N" when the order has more. |
| Qty | Units across the whole order. |
| Sold | What the buyer paid, including the postage they were charged. |
| Fees | What eBay charged. May read unavailable — see below. |
| Cost | What you paid your supplier. Reads Add cost in amber while empty. |
| Supplier order # | Your own supplier reference, with a one-click copy button. Hidden by default. |
| Profit | Green at or above zero, red below, a dash while the cost is missing. |
| Margin | Profit as a percentage of the sale. |
| Status | A delivery icon, plus badges for refund, claim, return and cancelled. |
Fees reading "unavailable". eBay's Finances ledger only covers about the last 90 days. On an order older than that with no fees imported, Baiord says unavailable rather than showing zero — because a zero would quietly inflate that order's profit. Hovering explains it on the row.
Showing and hiding columns
The Columns button opens a checkbox per column, and the menu stays open so you can change several at once. Only Supplier order # is hidden to begin with.
Your choice is remembered per browser, not per account — it will not follow you to another computer or phone.
Search
The box says "Order, buyer, SKU, tracking…" and in fact matches rather more than that: the eBay order number, the older-style order number, the buyer's username and name, a line's SKU, a line's title, a tracking number, and your supplier order number. Press / anywhere on the page to jump into it, Enter to search, Escape to clear.
If a search matches exactly one order, Baiord opens it for you.
Keyboard
- ↑ ↓ (or j / k) move between rows
- / focuses search
- Enter in the buying-price box saves and moves to the next order waiting
Shortcuts are ignored while you are typing in a field, so they never fight with what you are entering.
Pagination
The footer reads "1–50 of 312" with 30, 50 or 100 per page; 50 is the default. Every page is a real link, so the back button works and you can send someone a link to page three of a filtered view. Changing a filter resets you to page 1; your per-page choice sticks.
