Having just spoken to a very helpful women at PayPal who fully understood and sympathised with her and my inability to produce a statement that contained a running balance she has offered to work through the issue with the tech's at PayPal and will email her results. In the meantime I have tried various methods on the PayPal website and have come up with a workable solution. Go to the 'Reports' tab at the top of the page, then select 'Statements' from the tabs at the left. Select the 'Monthly' option from the drop down then 'Request' the CSV option. It will then take a few minutes to process the request before offering a 'Download' option. Download the CSV file into an Excel worksheet. To make the CSV data usable select the columns that you don't require and Hide them. Change the column widths to fit the content of each of the remaining columns. Add a header to give the printed worksheet a title (e.g. PayPal statement Mar 2021) Save the file as an Excel worksheet in whichever folder you choose. Print off a hardcopy for inclusion in your tax account records. I don't understand why PayPal don't now include the running balance on their screen viewable format (despite offering "Activity (including fees & balance) option, especially as the balance data is available via the CSV format and could so easily be migrated across. It will be interesting to see if and when my friendly PayPal lady emails me what answers she comes up with!
