Hello,
I'm a personal PayPal account user. I recently used the Activity | Download symbol | Custom page to create a CSV-formatted report for a time period. I downloaded the resulting report, opened it in Excel and saved it as an .xlsx to my computer. The report has a lot of information I don't need. I'm looking for all of the Send transactions I made to a certain recipient, the date and amount. I usually get charged fees on top of the sent amount, too.
Is there a list of the definitions of the Type field values for reports? I found a few, but not all.
It looks like there are some times multiple PayPal transactions are generated for these (friends and family) Sends, but not always. My typical scenario is to log in to PayPal and Send an amount to my friend. I usually don't have a PayPal balance to draw down, but I do have my PayPal account linked to a debit card and to a bank account. Fees usually get charged. What are the relevant transactions that this scenario should generate? I'd like to delete the irrelevant transactions from the report so I can calculate totals. Here is a sanitized sample of a piece of my Report copied right from the report:
| Date | Time | Name | Type | Status | Gross | Fee | Net |
| 9/16/2024 | 10:14:49 | Sam | Mobile Payment | Completed | -1.00 | -3.20 | -13.20 |
| 9/16/2024 | 10:14:49 | | General Card Deposit | Completed | 13.20 | | 13.20 |
| 9/16/2024 | 20:35:59 | Sam | Mobile Payment | Completed | -25.00 | -7.55 | -257.55 |
| 9/16/2024 | 20:35:59 | | General Card Deposit | Completed | 257.55 | | 257.55 |
| 9/19/2024 | 13:30:57 | Sam | Mobile Payment | Completed | -4.00 | -11.90 | -411.90 |
| 9/19/2024 | 13:30:57 | | General Card Deposit | Completed | 411.90 | | 411.90 |
So what does this mean? How much did I send Sam?
Thanks a lot.
Dave
