Convert a PayPal account statement PDF to QuickBooks
PayPal's own CSV export is a raw activity dump with a column layout that changes by report type, while the monthly statement PDF is the tidy, reconciled version — and the only one that carries a running balance. Converting the PDF gives you the statement your bookkeeping actually needs. Every row is checked against the running balance before you get the file, so the figures reconcile instead of just looking plausible.

Questions
PayPal account statements, specifically
How do I convert a PayPal account statement to QuickBooks?
Upload your PayPal account statement PDF, and LedgerLift returns an OFX file you can import straight into QuickBooks with date, description, amount and balance columns — usually in seconds.
Can I export my PayPal account statement to QuickBooks?

How do I download my PayPal account statement as a PDF?
Log in at paypal.com and go to paypal.com/reports. Open 'Statements' and find the month you need. Select 'Request' next to that month if the statement hasn't been generated yet — in many countries it appears automatically by the 10th. When it's ready, select 'Download' and save the PDF.

What does it cost to convert a PayPal account statement?
The first 3 pages are free and need no account. Past that it's $3 to unlock the statement you just converted, which also leaves you credit towards the next one. Full pricing.
Is it accurate?
The extracted rows are re-added and compared against the running balance printed on the account statement. If the two agree, the figures are arithmetically sound; any row that can't be resolved confidently is flagged in the preview rather than quietly guessed at.
Is my data secure?
Your PDF is deleted automatically after processing and we keep no copy. There's no account to create, and we never sell, share or train on financial data.
Which PayPal accounts are supported?
Personal and business PayPal statements, in any currency. Multi-page documents are fine.
