Hi @Jimbocornwall,
Welcome to the PayPal Community Forum and thank you for your post!
The steps on how to download a transaction report can be found here: How do I download a report of my PayPal payment history?
However, to go back further than 3 years, you will need to contact our customer service team to request this report!
To contact our customer service team, click 'Help' or 'Contact' at the bottom of any PayPal Webpage.
You can also contact us via Facebook PM's or Twitter DM's.

I hope this helps, have a nice day!
