Rationale

Personal finance manager Moneydance cannot import PayPal transactions directly. As a user you can still export QIF files from PayPal and import them, but that restricts you to US$, a maximum of 2 years, and seems like a cumbersome process anyway.

This extension provides a direct connection to PayPal and allows you to import your PayPal transactions in any currency and date range.
