Top Tip - What Did I Buy From Ebay?

Hi Guys,

Recently on my bus build thread, Lenny asked me what bulbs I bought, I looked in my purchase history, but couldnt tell which one was which or for what... I had given up until now, where I have found a means that I think will come in useful to you all!

So, you know what it is you want to share the link for (in my case "bulbs" (double filament LED).

Log into your paypal account at paypal.com, then go to "My Account" then "History" then "Download History".

Set the parameters to be whatever you want (I searched all from this year!) and download and open the "comma delimited - All Activity".

This should open in Excel.

Now go to Excel look around column P, you should see "Item Title", click the select all button (immediately next to the letter A (column) and above the number 1 (row)) This highlights everything. Now resize any of the cells, to be a fairly manageable size.

Go back to column P (item title) and click this, then go to "filter" now click the arrow at the end of the box "Item Title" and start to type the search term ("Bulb"). This then filters all the bulbs that you have bought.

Now copy each of those titles into the ebay search box, and bang! there you have it, you can now find your lost item!

Hope its of some use to someone :D
