Common PayPal issues – solved

Avoid messy exports and manual cleanup.

CSV limited to a few months

Issue:The native PayPal CSV export is time-limited and hard to parse.

Solution:Download the PDF report and upload it to KontoCSV – no 90-day cap, clean column mapping.

Fees mixed with amounts

Issue:Exports sometimes merge the PayPal fee with the amount.

Solution:KontoCSV separates gross, fee, and net and keeps the currency consistent.

FX conversion missing

Issue:Original amount or conversion rate is missing in the download.

Solution:The PDF contains the FX info; KontoCSV exports original currency, rate, and EUR amount separately.
