bippie,
does it pull even the more obscure websites (like Meritline, 1sale, etc or just major stuff like Amazon, Sears, Staples?)

I tried it [eBay owns me anyway... ha.. ha] but it only found 13 items, like when I ordered Priority Boxes from the Post Office or Pictures from the drug store. Mine only did this year, even though I know I have emails for my purchases going back much further.

"Free Online Storage to Track/Store all your online receipts from major .com retailers"
My email service is already free; in the email account where they're stored.
I think they're less interested in the "storage" part and more leaning towards the "tracking" part.

Other emails will not be scanned.
As it turns out, there are a handful (142,659,816, at present) of other domains on the planet besides the spam-mail services. Oh well. Better I didn't know how much I've spent.

i'm curious whether it only scans the emails we also have access to, or whether it can access some sort of database history stored in email servers.

I believe it only reads emails but attempts to locate a photo to display with the purchase. Some are accurate and others are close but not exactly right. A shirt may be the right shirt but wrong color, for example.
I do not see purchases from Meritline but I might use a different email for those purchases.

This might be a good service for some. Not for me. I already have a backup of my email accts, Data, etc to a external Hard drive. And to a DVD offsite. Thanks OP for your effort.

Exactly, they will make money selling that data. More info for the data warehousing crowd about our habits to sell. Better read the TC carefully.
Or print to PDF and store safely off the cloud, where other marketers can't get to and sell the data.

If you have Android phone / tablet running the latest Jelly Bean 4.2, the app "Google Now" can ALSO track packages. Google will scan your Gmail account and let you know when the package has shipped, delivered, etc.
The great thing is that Google Now is baked into the Android OS and it does so much more (flight tracking, sports scores, etc.).

I would be worried about state subpoenas for use tax purposes. Not worth even a small risk.
