How to Find Your PayPal Transaction Number
PayPal offers Internet users a safe and secure method to send and receive payments. From shopping to payroll, PayPal is a regular part of many people's finances today. Every transaction that takes place through PayPal is tracked through a unique transaction number, also called the "Unique Transaction ID." This information is easily accessible for all PayPal users who are logged into their personal PayPal account.
