How do I identify my purchases when I look at the purchase history. All I see is numbers.

I do a lot of buying on many websites. I don't keep a lot of notes and expect to see my purchases on my Paypal history. However, when I look at my purchase history all I see is transaction numbers, item numbers blah blah blah, how hard would it be to just put the name of the purchased item in the purchase history description.

The merchant sets the item descriptions not PayPal.
Kudos & Solved are greatly appreciated. 🙂

I'm having this problem as well. I never received what I ordered, and when I go back to look at my history, I can't find the item listed. Only numbers.
