Normal consumer account, I want to quickly access a list of my purchases and download them with full details. I'm sure I used to be able to do it as I have some .csv files from a few years back.

I've Googled it but it gives me an amazon.com URL which does the trick. But it only serves up the two purchases I made through amazon.com and there's no .co.uk equivalent. And the rest of my Google Powers are defeated by results that apply to businesses selling on Amazon.

Anyone know if I'm missing something or has the transaction download been removed?

Ta.

FFS!

I've had to do that to eBay as they seem to have pulled the same trick. But eBay is worse because on the page that shows you your transactions it only shows the item cost, not the amount including postage and if you put several items in a basket it doesn't show that they were paid with a single transaction, so it's a total pain to identify what was what!

I edited above you can ask for data I’ve just done it, but takes up to a month. And will probably be crap when received. We’ll see

If you DSAR them the data should come back pretty comprehensive, it might not be particularly user-friendly, but it'll all be there. I was going to transform it in Power BI, so fairly simple to turn whatever it looks like into something more useful, but I'd rather have it done sooner than that'll take and I was hoping for something I can manage myself and keep up to date rather than a manual process that takes ages.

I'm only trying to work out how much of my money I've spent on my loft conversion, but eBay, Amazon and PayPal all leave non-descriptive entries on the bank statement, so I was hoping to be able to get a quick download, fuzzy match based on date and amount to get a description added to my transactions so I can identify the stuff I'm interested in quickly.

I have 488 transactions left to work through, though I had 800 or so when the football kicked off last night, so it's not as bad as it sounds.

Thanks!
