I'm entering my eBay Personal Property Sales in the Investment Sales Section. What do I enter for "date sold" if I sold the items on various dates throughout 2021?

Or is the answer that I need to enter each of my sales?  
eBay conveniently adds up my total sales, taxes and fees collected by eBay, and selling costs, so I am hoping I can enter those totals and don't have to enter into TurboTax a list of my 146 sales.

I don't see any harm if you enter 12/31/2021 as the date of sale or any other date. As long as you report all the sales. I always enter 12/31/2021 as the date foreign tax paid, but the actual payment date(s) are different.
