During the last meeting Stormy reported she asked to the sysadmin team
to automate the process of importing data from PayPal to GNUCash, she
also filed a bug and Paul told us he will set/push a higher priority in
order to get the automation done.

I have found two possible ways to do it.
 1. Export PayPal data as QIF file and then import it into GNUCash.
 2. Use an external application that have a PayPal importer plugin.
    jgnucash-editor (http://sourceforge.net/projects/jgnucashlib/)
    It uses the PayPal SOAP-API and it connects itself to PayPal and
    pull the data.
    Warning: this program stores the password in plain text.

I did not test the second one because my PayPal account only have a
couple of transactions only.

I feel more inclined to the first one, at least the second allows to
retrieve more information. However, the final decision should be taken
by Rosanna.

So, we do not need to reinvent the wheel and this may help as point of
start.
