Confusing at times. Activity Refunds, Payment, Purchases WTH?

[Eagle8085]

Not that the numbers are not squaring, but

Why are Refunds on my activity posted with a (+) and green, while a payment to the account posts has a (-) and No different visually than a purchase. Should this activity visually appear as if it was a refund?  Confusing at times. Funds accounting?

Anything that goes out of your account is a (-), a deduction. Anything that comes into your account, is a (+), an addition.

What do you mean exactly by “while a payment to the account”? Which account?

If you pay out to someone or entity, it gets a (-). Accepted payments or refunds get a (+). That is the visual difference.

Each transaction has a status on it:

What does the status of my payment mean on my PayPal account?
