If you're a PayPal partner looking to reconcile your partner fees, use the Balance report or the Disbursement report, depending on your specific reconciliation requirements.

This report provides a summary of the activity on your financial accounts. You can generate this report for a single financial account or for a set of financial accounts, such as the partner fee account or the recoup account.
