Is it possible to get buying history for the passed 5-6 years

Would like to get buying history for the passed 5-6 years

Ebay Purchase History only goes back 2017 2016 and 2015.

For more than that, you'd need to check your own Feedback Left For Others. Or save your email. Or try Paypal. It offers some downloadable data files under Account Activity.

If you used Paypal consistently, most of the information you need would be there.

It's slow.

Thanks for the input, some I have tried some i haven't.

Thanks again

Unfortunately, PayPal does not store purchases that long anymore. I recently tried to look at a purchase made in 2013, and it's not there. It doesn't go farther than 2016 (I think, don't remember how far I went in the calendars).

Correction: the oldest date I can access is August 5, 2014. So it goes back 3 years only.

[momcqueen]

Correct.

However, you can create reports for other dates as shown.

This is an Activity Export. You chose from options. And download. Then you wait. Paypal will send you a link when it's ready to be downloaded and viewed.

Cool! I didn't know that option existed. Will take a look for sure. Thanks!

You're welcome. It's very useful. You find it under the Activity tab at the top of the page.

These are the different things you can select for download. Once you have it downloaded, you can sort your columns using your spreadsheet program (mine is Numbers because I have an iMac) to reflect what you need to see.
