 I'm really disappointed in PayPal's summary disconnection from Quicken Connect. Smiley Mad

Quicken has been essential to my workflow, and millions of other users, for years.

 

The workaround I've found:

1. Going forward - don't use PayPal for expenses - (use it for income only) - 

 - use a real bank card instead and do regular transfers into your bank account.

2. Alternatively - use the download QIF option from within PayPal account history

 - open it using qif2qfx converter from MoneyThumb.com

 - copy the preview into a text file and manually enter deductible expenditures from there.

 

The issuance of 1099-k's greatly simplifies figuring out income from PayPal, and eliminates the problem of triple entries in Quicken Connect when tracking income.

 

As an expense tracker, however, PayPal has suddenly become hugely burdensome.

 

Quicken has major downloadability problems, since divestiture from Intuit. They're in chaos. I hope they can all work it out. Meanwhile, we're back to 1993 as far as having to stay on top of account history and manual entry.

Bah, PayPal. You can do better. We need you to.

I've been trying to get transactions downloaded into Quicken since the end of December. It was working correctly. Quicken Mac 2015 cannot import a QIF file whihc appears to be the only way to get transactions out of Paypal now. 

 

Does anyone have a solution?

Downloading Paypal into Quicken 2015 Premier on Windows 7 is broken for me.  It's been broken for at least a month.  it's a hassle.
