Set up downloads from PayPal

I can't seem to set up Ace Money correctly to download from PayPal. To me it seems like the problem is likely the 'Bank' because the only likely candidate in the dropdown list is PayPal Buyer Credit and that doesn't sound right, but since it was the only rational choice I used it. I get a message that my information is not complete, but I have entered my account ID and in the Bank Properties windows the URL is https://www.paypal.geconsumerfinance.com/ so that's not missing.

Any ideas?

PayPal does not have an OFX server, so you can't download transactions directly from within AceMoney. You will have to log in to the PayPal website and export the desired transactions to an CSV file, which you can then try to import into AceMoney as-is, or use any of the many PayPal CSV convertor apps floating around to convert the data into an import-friendlier format, like OFX.

Nice clear explanation.

Is it still true?

As far as I know, yes.
