Google Analytics filter PayPal referral

I've been trying to filter out the referral links from the PayPal CGI script for a client in Google Analytics. The referral path in GA is mostly /cgibin/webscr although I just saw one with /us/cgi-bin/webscr/.

I've tried a predefined filter ("Exclude traffic from the ISP domain that contains paypal.com") and two custom filters: - Exclude Campaign Referral Path: ./paypal.com/cgibin/webscr - Exclude Referral: ./paypal.com/cgibin/webscr

It seems I've filtered out some, but not all. Anyone know any way to knock out PayPal totally?

Thanks - Joe

I believe this should suffice:

To filter out a referring source from your reports, create the following filter:

Filter Type: Custom Filter > Exclude

Filter Field: Campaign Source

Filter Pattern: Enter the domain of the referring source that you would like to exclude, for example, paypal.com. You can use regular expressions if you would like to exclude several referring sources.

If you check https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/2795830?hl=en It will tell you to:

  1. Navigate to a property. If you're not in the settings screen, click Admin.
  2. Click Tracking Info then Referral Exclusion List.
  3. Enter the Domain.
  4. Click Apply to save.
