Hi Dave
1. From the Pay Pal main menu, choose "Activity"
2. Click on the icon that looks like a "download" on the right of the
"Search" bar
3. Choose "Custom"
4. Enter a date range
5. Click "Create Report"
6. Go and make a cup of tea
7. Refresh the page and download the generated CSV file
8. Tear out whatever remaining hair you have trying to make sense of
these 10 columns in the file:
Date, Time, Time zone, Name, Type, Status, Currency, Amount, Receipt ID,
Balance
Good luck!
Regards
Geoff

Someone mentioned reconciling their PayPal account. Is there a way to do
this for anything other than the last transaction? I don’t seem to be able
to display a balance at any point in the past. So if I wanted to know the
balance on the first of July, I don’t see a way of finding it.
I am trying to enter transactions from the start of my financial year, but
I can’t find a way of finding the balance at any particular moment in time.
I was looking yesterday and were baffled by transaction that involved
buying postage through eBay with PayPal.
Purchase postage @ £0.48
another transaction with a similar implication, but for -£0.48. But it
doesn’t appear to be a refund. £0.48 was withdrawn from my bank account.
I *think* what the account is showing is that the £0.48 was paid for
postage, then £0.45 was withdrawn by eBay (not me). But overall I find
following what is actually happening in the PayPal account is very
difficult, and unless I am mistaken, reconciling would be a very painful
experience. I can not really see how the reconcile tool in GnuCash would
help much.
Does anyone know of a way of getting the balance in the account at a
certain time in the past? Does anyone find the reconcile tool in GunCash
helpful with PayPal?
Dave
