Even though the fees from Paypal and Etsy were listed in the wrong category of Schedule C expenses, the bottom line of the Schedule C would remain the same.  Just report it in the correct category for 2022 and keep the 2021 records showing that it was on a different line for 2021.

 

As for inventory, if the inventory and cost of goods sold section of the 2021 Schedule C was filled in, there could have been an ending inventory value to transfer to 2022.  However, tracking inventory for a Schedule C business is not necessarily required unless the business income is greater than $26 million on average for the last three years.  Instead, the inventory may be expensed when purchased.  So, if there is simply a value entered for the cost of goods sold on the 2021 return, everything should be fine.
