paypal Activity with Running Balance?

Up until a few days ago I was using a PayPal page that displayed each activity with fees and running balance (Gross | Fee | Net | Balance). It was in PayPal’s old/classic UX, so not pretty, but very useful. There wasn’t a link in the current UX to get to it, but I had bookmarked the URL: https://www.paypal.com/webscr?cmd=_choose-transaction.

Today, that URL doesn’t work – it resolves to the new/current UX « Activity » page (https://www.paypal.com/myaccount/transactions/). I was bummed and decided to reach out to customer service by chat and they help some.

Turns out you can get the same information (Gross | Fee | Net | Balance) from the new UX as follows:

1. Go to this URL: https://www.paypal.com/listing/transactions.
This appears to be a different page than what you might see by clicking on « Activity » from the menu, probably depending on your account type (Personal or Business »).
The default view and this page’s pull-down selectors are « Active | All transactions | All currencies | Past 30 days ».

2. Select « Balance affecting » from the second pull-down (default is « All transactions »). As soon as you change the pull-down, the page refreshes and you will then get a view that includes « Gross | Fee | Net | Balance ».

I’m glad to know I can still see this info on the website and without having to generate a report, but the bummer is it now takes two steps; the page cannot be invoked by a single URL. I asked the chat rep to pass along my recommendation that the page be callable from a URL.
