Is My Reseller Genie an accounting app or an inventory app?

Mostly accounting. It pulls sales, fees and refunds from seven marketplaces and your bank, categorises expenses, and produces profit and loss reports and an inventory report for accrual filers. Its inventory is a list of items, each tied to the sale it eventually becomes. Intakes is the other way round: inventory and cost first — purchases, lots, quantities, production — with the sales, expenses and tax figures built on top of that.

Which connects to more marketplaces?

My Reseller Genie: eBay, Poshmark, Mercari, Whatnot, Etsy, Depop and Vinted import automatically on its top plan, and anything else by CSV or by hand. Intakes connects eBay and Etsy today, with Shopify and Square next; the rest are recorded by hand. If Poshmark, Mercari or Whatnot is most of your business, that difference matters more than anything else on this page.

Does My Reseller Genie connect to my bank?

Yes, on its Premium and Ultimate plans, through Plaid, so expenses can be pulled from your bank, PayPal and cards. Intakes does not read bank feeds yet; expenses are recorded with their receipts attached, and bank feeds are planned.

How does each handle a storage unit or a pallet?

Intakes records it as one purchase that stays open while you unpack and sell, marks what sells meanwhile as provisional, spreads the price and freight across every piece by value, and reprices sold items when the lot closes. Bulk purchases are not described on My Reseller Genie’s site; its inventory model is one item per record, each tied to one sale.

Can I use Intakes outside the US?

Yes. A workspace keeps its books in any currency, and only the Schedule C lines and the IRS mileage rate are US-specific. My Reseller Genie says it works for US-based resellers only.

Intakes vs My Reseller Genie

My Reseller Genie is reseller bookkeeping: sales in from seven marketplaces and your bank, expenses sorted, profit and loss out, for US sellers. Intakes is inventory and cost: purchases, lots bought for one price, stock by quantity, things you make, with the sales, expenses and year-end figures built on what each piece actually cost. If your question is mainly “what do I owe”, the Genie answers it for less. If it is “what did this really cost and earn”, that is Intakes.
