Doing my books - help eBay postage ?

Options
I’m just doing my accounts and struggling . Previous years I could just search Royal Mail or shutl on PayPal and it would list all of postage spent. Now it’s changed to EBay uk and mixes with sales of items and purchases on eBay . I buy and sell loads and have tonnes of postage so I’m wondering if anyone has found a simple way to get the eBay postage totals for each month or for year? 
I’m hoping I don’t have to print it all and go through and separate all the different types of eBay purchases as it will take forever 😬

    I don't use eBay postage so don't know for sure but maybe there's an option under the reports section?

    The monthly financial statements show all postage in the month as a single item. Similarly, sales, etc. 
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    I’ve just double checked and there is no postage totals in financial summary or monthly sales on PayPal and on eBay it lists the postage but only in last 90 days and I need the year

    You mean that you have not downloaded your monthly statements?

    Paypal has nothing to do with eBay anymore, as a seller there won't be anything on PayPal.

    I'm able to download full monthly statements from eBay showing all financial transactions back to April 2021 (I assume this is when I joined eBay payments).

    I’ve got all my eBay monthly statements here and has postage label line on them and total is zero on every statement and I spend masses on postage . My postage label payments still get taken from PayPal account but show on eBay postage labels option but only for last 90 days .
    this change over in the last year has made my books so difficult 😬

    It still does unfortunately as all my postage gets taken from my PayPal account still so there is record but it’s all merged in with loads of other things and I can’t single it out like I used to be able to on transaction finder

    Paypal help says you can download all your transactions to a CSV file. If so, it’s trivial to analyse them in a spreadsheet.
