Ebay shipping label and PayPal duplicate transactions

Hi, hoping someone can help save my sanity?

 

I'm using QBSE

 

I have an Ebay shop (UK if that makes any difference) and buy my shipping labels via Ebay with Paypal. I'm just trying to tidy up my accounts and noticing it's duplicating transactions between bank and PayPal. 

 

It's showing the money charged for the label by paypal. but then also shows as a credit / transfer to bank account. It makes it look like a business cost and then also business income. I've taken a snip of this.

 

I'm going through manually excluding all of the transfers as this seems to be falsely increasing my profit as it's not true income. But honestly, the idea of going through hundreds of transactions is not appealing. I've done 2 months worth at the moment and this can't be right?

 

Is there an easy way to deal with this? Can I bulk exclude these duplicates?

 

Thanks!
