PayPal + Clear Books: Bridge the Gap
Need to get your PayPal UK bank statement into Clear Books? PayPal uses DD/MM/YYYY HH:MM:SS and multi-row layout where each transaction shows Gross, Fee, and Net amounts on separate lines with running balance — which needs converting to CSV (Date, Description, Money in, Money out — Clear Books uses separate columns for credits and debits) for Clear Books import.
