That wasn't what you asked ;-)

=SUMPRODUCT(($A$1:$A$1000=0)*($B$1:$B$1000="eBay Payment")*($A$1:$A$1000))

Should work

Remember the eBay Payment must be exactly the same in each cell and this now
looks for positives and zero, reverse the < for negatives

How to sum only positive values in a column?
 
You've already received formula solutions to your problem, but another thing
you might be interested in trying is to do Data Filter Autofilter then
choose "ebay payment" on that column and Custom greater than zero on that
column.........then you will have those filtered items right there in front
of you for inspection......then the SUBTOTAL formula will give you the sum,
or average, or count of the values.

I hope that the OP doesn't lose too much sleep trying to decide whether or
not to add the zeroes, Nick. :-)

Haven't really played with a spreadsheet since Borland's Quattro!
