please see my post here

and read the accepted solution left there by berserkerplanet.

you have to go in the " backdoor", if you will, and get to the classic view , then you can click in the date range  , payments received then see the fees and add them up.

It's a pain  and the new change to the site really bites. 

If they take away that classic view it would be a total PITA to dig stuff up.

You sign into Paypal and print the reports.  We print out a monthly report so we have everything for tax season when it arrives.  Lots of data in the report

  • After you sign in click on reports
  • Then left side bar click on financial summaries
  • then monthly sales
  • choose the month from the drop down box
  • then use the print tab (top right area)
  • Do this same process for each month

Good Luck Selling!

I'm old school. I record everything into a ledger book when I have a sale. All I have to do is open up my book and I can tell you my shipping, Ebay fees and Paypal fees for the month or year at a glance. 

The easier you are to offend the easier you are to control.

If it works, great for you!  We do about 14,000 transactions (and growing) yearly on eBay so having automated reports in place and knowing how to make them work allows us to do this kind of volume.

The abov suggestions are suitable if you're asking for fees incurred so far this eyar

 

If you're looking for a total of fees paid for 2017, just go to the Reports section in PayPal and find the "Annual financial summary," which has a line-item entry for total fees paid for the year, as well as entries for total receipts, returns, etc.

They are removing it in June according to a message I saw on PayPal 2 weeks ago- sorry, did not take a screenshot.

I hear 'ya! I do around one tenth of that across all three accounts. I can't imagine doing that much volume without some sort of automation or extra help.

LOL, I'm "old school" as well except I use spreadsheets = )

I'm not sure the OP is anywhere near goodluck's figures.

I download my transaction history as a CSV file, import into a spreadsheet, and total the FEES column.

 

I use that spreadheet as the basis for all my accounting and tax reporting.

I cant understand why they are completely incapable of designing what should be a very simple and common form statement that is comprehensive and comprehendable.

 

Nothing confuses me more than looking at my statements and trying to break down my expenses etc on ebay.
