on my activity page of the Paypal account? Any legitimate accounting statement/register shows a running balance. Paypal intentionally obscures this information - why I do not know.

Ditto. Try contacting Paypal and ask how to get a running balance view. Maybe if enough folks harass them enough, they will get the message. I will also harass them.

You are missing the point. Of course you can see your final balance when you log in. A running balance sheet shows each transaction and the balance next to it, so a list of transactions shows different balance values after each transaction is processed. PayPal has had this in the past, although it has changed pages several times and made it difficult to see, which is why this Community message exists. It now no longer works, AGAIN. All reputable banking institutions show this in statements, either online or in paper format. PayPal, I guess, is no longer wants to be a reputable banking institution? Please provide this as it makes balancing statements much, much easier.

@GG928Do you have any updates on this topic?
You suggested calling. I called PayPal about this topic, probably more than 1 year ago. The person I spoke to was not necessarily in agreement with me, but took down my request. Such a request has not yet been entertained. Calling again seems futile. No explanation has been provided for why PayPal removed the detailed view or why PayPal is resisting to have it reinstated.
To get the detailed view, I need to generate a report for a given period, which should not be necessary and is also inadequate. The screen view should appear exactly as it used to in the links stated in this thread, or for reference what used to be called the Classic Detailed view.
The problem with the reports is you cannot open a given transaction to view the details and act on the details, as you can in the screen view.
PayPal not implementing such a view for the last few years is clearly resulting in a lack of trust by the PayPal community, due to a lack of transparency by PayPal.
Please restore the detailed view so the PayPal community can regain 100% trust in PayPal.

I absolutely agree with you.... The reports are useless and confusing.... They should have a running balance just like any other bank websight.

I often have this difficulty. I do wonder whether paypal screws people out of money but beacuse of the way theyve formed their system its hard to keep track. Ridiculous.

Im stuck. I have clicked on the links provided on this thread and not had any luck! I literally can get no clear running balance and when open the excel statement none of the transactions are clear.
I agree that this confusing mess clearly is intentional or they would have fixed it for all those who have complained with the difficulty..

I would like to know this too. If I select completed transactions and CSV on the reports page,
my current balance is listed as $9541.80... so, It looks like they owe me money.
I mean, this is their data, who am I to argue if they say that I should have +$9541.80 in my account?
I wonder why this doesn't show under my account summary.
They are pretty obviously engaging in some sort of fraud, otherwise they would not make it such a pain
to get our running balance.
Anyone know of paypal alternatives?
All the holds and hold releases on the "balance effecting transactions" option makes it REALLY hard to track everything.
maybe they really do owe me over $9500... hmmmmm

Dear Paypal, you do a lot of things good,
but I'm just about to DUMP you.
I shouldn't have to work this hard to get a
*FREEEEEKING* running balance.
In addition, I can't seem to generate a report
that shows ANY fee I'm being charged.
I just found out I was charged a $28.00 late fee.
Who knew ?
(your chat bot is WORTHLESS & the phone help
doesn't have any magic tricks)
WTF ?
(and I shouldn't have to keep **bleep** with
the **bleep** captcha...)
