PayPal account connect error: java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string

I just connected to our PayPal account. I'm an admin in QBO and I used an admin login for the PayPal account. It seemed to connect fine.  The account shows in Banking. But the balance is not importing. I only see a ?. It shows 498 "In Quickbooks".

 

But, above the transactions, I'm seeing an error: 

Something’s not quite right
java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: "002061769f0...b65e3c91b4c53152". (I removed some of the input string.)
 
No transactions show in the bottom of the screen.
Not sure what I've done wrong.
 
Thoughts? Thank for any help.

Thanks for sharing the exact error you've received, DotNetCoderDFW.

 

I'm here to help you update your PayPal account balance in QuickBooks Online.

 

The "Bank balance" is the balance we retrieve from PayPal. This may be delayed by a couple of hours from what you actually see on PayPal.

 

The "In QuickBooks balance" is the balance of the General Ledger (GL) account in QuickBooks. It consists of transactions you have added to the account in QuickBooks. When you first connect to PayPal, this may show as zero because your transactions are still in the "For Review" tab and have not yet been added to the GL account register.

 

Here's an article for more details: Connect to PayPal.

 

If the PayPal balance won't update after few days, please contact our Support Team and provide your PayPal transaction ID. We need to check further into the account to see why it's not updating and look if there are any disruptions on the connection between the two apps (QBO and PayPal).

 

You can get our phone number in this link: How and when can I contact Support?

 

That's it. If you've got more questions, don't hesitate to drop a comment below. I'll be here to help.

The bank balance did update and it is correct. I now have a count of 661 transactions. But I still have the error. I can't see any transactions.

Thanks for replying!

I just signed up a new account with QBO. Imported the transactions from my new PayPal account. About 35 transactions total and I'm getting the same error. No transactions being shown although it reports that 35 transactions were imported.

 

I've reach out to support via phone and live chat and no fixes are available yet.
