I have posted this issue in the past, there is still no simple solution.

I'm a seller. Everything I buy here is technically for resale, and I have
a tax# for that. But BL is collecting sales tax on every purchase; they have
yet to start collecting tax#'s from any of us.

I went to the download section, no details, just totals, and still only get 6
months of data. And paypal separates taxes (partner fee) when you sell, but not
when you buy. Every penny of taxes BL has sucked out of me is due back to me;
I have to file with my state, but I have to calc the total first.

I was told more than once that order totals don't get purged after 6 months;
they lied. I printed out the last 6 months on Jan 1st, but now I have to figure
out the 1st 6 months.

They are not shown on the Order Placed page but they are downloadable:

no, you can't get full-year data from there, despite BL telling us, forever,
that you could.

You can download all the “headers” of your orders: ID, date(s), seller info,
shipping, charges & coupons/credits, taxes, total number of lots, total number
of items, payment method.

What is purged is the details of the lots & items.

I just checked and downloaded all my placed orders sinced I registered in 2014
(actually just set the from year to 2013).  It works.

What more are you looking for? You can get all the individual invoices for all
the purchase after six months (never have been able to), but that link gives
you a break down of shipping, tax, totals and other stuff. You can get this
for both your orders and your sales.

You can't get detail information (e.g. what items you ordered), but you can
definitely get totals - simply change the date range under "Include only orders
from:"
