Downloading Your PayPal Statements

PayPal is like a bank account. Like most bank accounts you’ll want your statements in order to reconcile your account with QuickBooks (or whichever accounting software you use).

To download your statements first click Activity in the PayPal main menu.

Then select All Reports.

On the left-hand side click Statements.

Then select Monthly.

You’ll now see a list of monthly statements. I prefer to download PDF copies of whatever I need. 

You can also request and then download CSV files. If you have not connected your PayPal account to QuickBooks you can use the CSV files to import your transactions.
