I use Quicken Home & Business. I hadn't downloaded my PayPal transactions into Quicken since January. When I try to do it now, it downloads March transactions (current month), but nothing for January or February. Why aren't these downloading?

I selected that option, but the entire method is different. I've been using the original PayPal PHP script from the 1990s when I set up my e-commerce site. It's all hand-coded. That PHP script talks to the PayPal server - back and forth. Meanwhile, I have other PHP code that encrypts my buttons and uses a certificate ID that PayPal gives me - or gave me. My certificate ID expired and I can't get another one from PayPal. That page you directed me to is for a completely different method. It may be "classic" but it's "new classic". I spent HOURS researching this, and it's not the method I've been using. Mysteriously, since getting the new certificate, my payments have been going through - though my certificate ID has expired, I can't get a new one, and I haven't touched my code. I suspect that I'm not the only one using the original PHP code, and not the only one who threatened legal action when PayPal cut off access with no notice. I don't know how long my old code will magically work, so I'm working on a new Web site that uses the new method.

What is the point of this "support" community? No one answers. I posted an urgent message last night. No reply, and there will be no reply. How do I get help?

I wrote my business site in custom PHP many years ago, before much was available in the way of commercial shopping carts. Every year I've updated the certificate, and all was well - until tonight! I had received a notice that PayPal was updating to more stringent encryption, but I read it carefully and I appeared to be in compliance. I have continued to receive payments. Then tonight I went to update my certificate as usual, and could not. The Web site was completely shifted around and the usual page was not there. I finally found the page for certificates, but none of the options were what I had been using. I had been using PayPal Payments Standard Integration. I generated public and private certificates and used these to encrypt the payment buttons. I uploaded the public certificate to the PayPal Web site, and PayPal gave me a certificate ID that I put in my PHP file. Now this entire method seems to have been disappeared without warning, and I don't know what to do. I can't find any page to upload a public certificate and receive a new certificate ID. Is it there and I'm just not seeing it? As of tonight, I'm no longer able to receive payments on my business site! PayPal customer service is closed - phone and chat - until Monday. Please don't accuse me of lack of planning. I had no warning of an impending problem. I read every notice sent to me and made the changes I was told to make. This huge change was not among them. I always upload the new certificate on the last day. That has never caused a problem before. Can someone please advise me? What are my current options? Thank you.

I've been using encrypted Standard Buttons coded in PHP for over 10 years, using the PayPal files EWPServices.php and PPCrypto.php. I got a notice that I need to update something - not sure what. I looked for updated files, and to my absolute horror, I discovered that what was once a simple two-file API has turned into a hundred-file nightmare with zillions of functions that I have no use for. I don't want to spend the next month getting a PhD in the PayPal API. Can I continue to use EWPServices.php and PHPCrypto.php?

PayPal has scheduled downtime today for two hours: https://www.x.com/node/304976 Is this going to be gracefully handled on PayPal's end, or do I have to do something on my end to prevent customers from going to the PayPal site? Will it look like a bug on my site if customers try to make a purchase? Or will a notice be displayed on the PayPal site that there is planned downtime?
