Purchase History

I wanted to double check my various purchases as I'm balancing my accounts. All I wanted was a list, kind of like a statement. It seems that Apple doesn't really do that. I got to the page that says billings and purchases, but there's nothing there, even though they tell me that I can only view up to 18 months of information. Now my bank & PayPal statements tell me I've made several minor purchases over the last year. Can anyone explain that? Just curious. It also seems odd that the refer to such requests as "a problem".

Thanks for any help you can provide.
