paypal acct statement- can i see quick what i bought?

hi guys, I'm just wondering when I print off my statement, can I see at a glance, or is there a column title I can see, that will tell me without having to open each individual transaction to see what ive bought.


In each statement there are maybe 7 coulmns inc weird buyers company names etc, really all I need is date item and price... its for my accts/ business and would save a huge amount of time.
cheers

    No. Paypal doesn't record what you bought any more than your credit card statement does - it just shows how much you paid, when and to whom.

    It does give you the facility to view your purchases.

    OP, depending on your Paypal view: activity: advanced filters: payments.

    That should tell you what you've paid for. From that you should be able to work out your purchases. There are other ways, but that is the simplest.

    OP knows that. He asked - ' is there a column title I can see, that will tell me without having to open each individual transaction to see what ive bought.'

    Yes. But I quoted you.

    Paypal does record what you bought. Every single transaction is recorded.
