BBDBuy: How to Prevent Overpayment with the Expense Tracker Spreadsheet

2026-01-04

In today's complex e-commerce landscape, managing multiple orders, refunds, and wallet top-ups can quickly lead to financial confusion. The BBDBuy Spreadsheetnever overpay

The Core Principle: Financial Transparency

Overpayment often sneaks in through unrecorded refunds, forgotten recharges, or mental miscalculation. The BBDBuy system transforms this by mandating a single source of truth: your spreadsheet.

How the BBDBuy Spreadsheet Works

Maintain a dedicated spreadsheet with the following essential columns:

Date Type (Payment/Refund/Recharge) Amount Order ID / Description Running Balance
2023-10-26 Recharge +$100.00 Wallet Top-up $100.00
2023-10-27 Payment -$45.00 Order #12345 $55.00
2023-10-28 Refund +$20.00 Refund for Order #12345 (partial) $75.00

The Three Key Actions to Record

1. Record Every Payment

Log every cent spent on an order immediately. This is your base expense.

2. Record Every Refund

When money returns, log it as a positive inflow. This directly reduces your net spend for that order.

3. Record Every Recharge

Whether topping up a platform wallet or your payment method, track it to understand your total cash outflow.
