GaragePay lets you download, view, search, and archive all your PayPal transactions without having to log into the PayPal website. It lets you organize your transactions in smart groups and can export to CSV files.
What's New
Version 1.6.8:
added localized country name to CSV export
added check for a too long memo in a refund
sort order of CSV export fields are now remembered
This is a great app. I got it on MUPromo for a great price, I don't think I'd buy it for it's full price.
It's a better way to load PayPal data in public because you don't need your password to log on. You can just open it, look through and search through transactions - even find them without internet. It's stability could use some help, I've had a few crashes - though it's still great. They should make a mobile version (iPhone) because the PayPal app for iPhone requires you to enter your password every time... I use 1Password, I can't really remember it.
I love being able to launch this app to look at my current PayPal status. It is also invaluable to perform PayPal searches on my desktop. However after beta 6 this has become an app that I hate. It decides which transactions to download and not download, which to transactions have details and which don't. I finally gave up and went back to beta 6 and all is working again. So, I would normally give this 4 stars, but this 1 star rating is for versions after beta 6.
This is a useless program. It does not download the item descriptions. You can get more information by downloading the QIF file format from PayPal and importing into a financial program, such as iBank. That way you obtain all the information for each transaction that PayPal offers. The developer's response is that the PayPal toolkit doesn't offer the item description. Too bad they don't tell you that before you buy the program.
Great 1.0 product. Anything that keeps me off of the PayPal website and within a speedy, online-offline OS X app is a good thing.
Currently the app is geared towards reviewing completed sales from you PayPal account. There is no "Capture Funds" feature in this version.
Future integration with OS X Address Book, iCal, and shipping company address books would make this a complete app.
An iPhone version of this app would allow me to manage my day-to-day business from anywhere. nudge, nudge.

Nice app, nice gui and workflow, but a bit too expensive for a "normal" paypal account (with no shopping cart etc...).
Maybe you should think to do a Lite version.

Call me when it's $9.99 or less. Or better yet, a $1.99 iPhone app.

And for the original author, as the MacUpdate Admin politely implied, do your research before complaining.
