About PayPal statements
PayPal statements are transaction-dense and fee-heavy: nearly every sale has an associated fee line, and cross-border payments add currency conversion entries.
How to download your PayPal statement as a PDF
Sign in at paypal.com, open Activity then Statements, choose the month, and download the PDF.
Always take the statement file the bank issues rather than printing a transaction list from the browser. The issued statement is the document of record, and it converts more reliably than a printed page.
What a PayPal statement looks like
Statements list dated activity with counterparty, gross amount, fee and net, plus a balance summary by currency.
PayPal quirks to watch for
These are the details that break a copy-paste into Excel, and the reason a PayPal statement rarely lands cleanly on the first try:
- Gross, fee and net are separate figures, so the net is what actually hits the balance.
- Multi-currency accounts print a separate balance block per currency.
- Holds, releases and reversals appear as distinct entries.
- US statements print dates month first, which is what a US-configured spreadsheet expects.
What you get back
Every PayPal conversion returns the same columns, in USD, so statements from different months and different accounts stack in one spreadsheet without rework:
| Date | Description | Amount | Balance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2026-03-04 | CARD PAYMENT TO SUPERMARKET | -64.20 | 2,481.19 |
Check the export before you use it: opening balance plus the sum of the amount column should equal the closing balance printed on your PayPal statement.
Why not just export from PayPal directly?
Use the direct export when it covers the period you need. It rarely does. Direct CSV, OFX and QBO downloads are usually capped at a recent window, while PDF statements stay available for years, and they are the only thing left once an account is closed. Converting the PDF removes the date limit entirely.
Frequently asked questions
+Are PayPal fees separated from sales?
Fees come through as their own rows, which is what accounting software needs to book revenue and expense correctly.
+How are multi-currency balances handled?
Each currency block is read separately so amounts are not blended across currencies.
+Is the PayPal statement converter free?
Yes. No signup, no email and no watermark on the output. The only limit is a 10MB file size.
+Do you store my PayPal statement?
No. The PDF is processed in memory to build the CSV and is never written to disk or retained.
+Is this service affiliated with PayPal?
No. This is an independent tool with no connection to PayPal. It reads a PDF you already have and never connects to your account.
