Where is button for Classic Site?

I always went to the bottom left side and clicked on Classsic Site to find things not on the other site. It's not there today! Did they take it off?  The Classic site is so much quicker and easy to use. I hope it is just a mess up and will be back soon.

PegasusSupreme's URL worked for me. I had to be logged in first (to the *new*) site. I then pasted the URL into the browser address bar and pressed enter, and the classic site history page appeared.

 

Note that PayPal will eventually probably take this away. It seems the huge trend nowadays is to "dumb everything down" to make sites look and feel like a tablet or phone app. It may be easier and show the information you *usually* want to see quicker, but it takes away utility, usefulness, and that results in a frustrating, non-userfriendly experience.

Wow. That actually took me to the history page that works... sort of. Sometimes it will display my selected date range, but sometimes (half or more?) I get the "Fatal Error" (or Fatal something) page. If I do more than one month at a time, or if I select a range that requires more than one page to display, I can't look at page two without the Fatal page. What a mess!

Doesn't work anymore... someone at tech support was supposed to email me with a way to do it...

 

No gots.

 

Very frustrating!

I have a lot of bookkeeping to do.

Please, just put the button back on the page and let us use it again. Simple. Done. End of Story. Leave it (and US) ALONE - we are trying to get some work done here!

 

Peace

If you are still trying to find PayPal's Classic Site, try the the link that PegasusSupreme posted. It worked for me.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! You have enabled me to sort out a problem that Paypal customer services just didn't understand or couldn't give me a proper answer to. When looking at the classic site I could see for myself in a few seconds! (Like I used to!)
