Activity Summary Download for transactions or even individual transactions is limited to three years by Paypal for some unfathonable reason. It used to be open for all years. The tax department can go back 7 years. I'm in a situation where I need transactions from 2019 but the back years for activities and transactions only go back 3 years. Does this old information have to be obtained by a court order to Paypal as financial documents must be available for Revenu Canada for 7 years? Has anyone been able to get a coherent answer from Paypal as it appears no one has been successful so far?

Hello @tryzub,
Welcome! Thanks for visiting PayPal's Community Forum. I'm sorry to hear you've run into some issues downloading history from 2019. You can download a report of your transaction activity for up to the past 7 years into PDF, Quicken, QuickBooks, or as a CSV or TAB file. Here's how to view and download statements and reports.
I hope that helps!

Hello @Zachry,
Welcome back to the PayPal Community!
I understand you'd like to download a statement with all your transactions totaled. I believe the Financial Summary might be what you're looking for. (When in your Reporting Portal, it's the option below the Activity Download on the left.) Creating a Financial Summary Report will add up the totals for whatever time you specify. Then, to the right of the report, you can select to download it in your preferred format.
I hope this helps you create the report with the details you need!

Again, I realize it's my fault for not downloading at the end of each year. However, I didn't ...and I don't want to continue printing out a detailed transaction list. I have done this for 2016 2017 2018 . I can not tell you how time consuming it is to get the totals this way. I would like the totaled end of the year report that is all totaled. Your system- Paypal does not let us go back past the current date we are in 2020 nor anything older. We can only go back the completed years of 2022 2021 or this current year . SO I am not able to retrieve a summary report for 2020 and 2019 from your system. please Please PLEASE help if there is a way! Can I pay for these reports, would be very happy to.

Hello @Zachry,
Sorry to hear about the confusion. I can confirm you are able to go back and download up to the past 7 years into PDF, Quicken, QuickBooks, or as a CSV or TAB file. However, you can only download 3 years at a time. I would recommend setting your search dates for only a year at a time, and you should be able to go back up to 7 years.
I hope that helps!

Hi Jon, I cannot download transactions for even one day from the year 2019. According to you, I should be able to download anything up to 7 years ago. Well, 2019 to 2023, including 2019, is 5 years. I can only go back to Jan 1, 2020. Please try it yourself. This is so disappointing. I need this solved.
Regards,
Wolly

OK.. Perhaps it's my wording... I realize I can download my transactions for each year going back 7 years.
I have done this... however for one year I have over a hundred pages of transactions to total into each category Sales, Purchases etc.
I need just the year end summary I can get this information for 3 years but older ... This document shows only . My totaled sales purchases etc.
The header states Financial Summary Report.
I would happily Pay to have a Financial Summary report Generated for the year 2019 and 2020.

Hi Meghan,
thanks for the reply, however, I cannot download even one transaction for one day from the year 2019. I cannot see financial summaries under Activity either. I can only go back to Jan 1, 2020. Please try it yourself. This is so disappointing.
Regards,
Wolly

I understand your exhaustion, mine is there too...
If you are in America here is what we do.
To get to a financial summaries option , you have to go to that little tab white and oblong - to the right of All Reports ...currently White, click it to switch to classic view and it will turn blue ... this will bring up a new page with different options.
You are limited to go back only three years to date to get any Summary report on this page. but this is the page that has more options to detail your report to monthly or to customize it to annual .
This gives you a totaled report of each category not a detailed transaction history report.
You can return to the other page by clicking the oblong icon that is now blue and white again. This brings up the Financial Summary page and here you can generate a detailed Financial transaction report which will give you each transaction for the time period you enter .
As she stated earlier in the thread, you are limited to entering a time period of 3 years... I do one year at a time.
Hope that helps!
