I have sent money many times over the last 4 years to a person. Is there a way to search by name for the times and amount I have sent? Thanks for any help.

Hi carole17,
Thanks for reaching out to us here with your question! The easiest way to find this information would be through a download of your transaction history. Once downloaded the information would be shown on a spreadsheet. From there you can sort by name to find the transactions you are looking for.
Here is how to download your history:
- Log in to your PayPal account.
- Click Activity near the top of the page. You can download your transaction history into Quicken, QuickBooks, or into a spreadsheet application.
- Click the Statements link located below the Log out button, and select "Account statements (PDF)" or "Activity export."
Note:
- When downloading a large History Log, you may experience a delay.
- We will email you when your file is ready to be downloaded.
- When it is ready you can view the file by clicking Recently Downloaded Logs on the "Download History" page.
- We save the last 3 most recently completed, large History Log files.
- Small logs are downloaded immediately and are not saved.
- You can download Comma Delimited files as Excel Spreadsheets and Tab Delimited files as .txt documents.
I hope this helps!
-Erica
