I am having this problem.  I think sometimes it goes away, but then I'll have to get codes several times in one day.  Surely the necessary cookies must be in place. ... View more

What I did (in Classic) was to display all activity, then change the date to a particular start and end date, then once it had done that, use the "More" on the right to select which format I wanted.  I couldn't find that until I got a little help from this thread. ... View more

I'm pleased to say that PayPal seem to have stopped reviewing me.   I was reviewed on 3 Oct and 8 Oct, but not this morning (12 Oct) on my withdrawal of £45.  Also the number of new complaints on this board seems to be decreasing, so perhaps finally Paypal are reducing the security reviews. ...
