Hi, can anyone help please. I am new to Quickbooks and am having a problem with Transfers.
When I pay by PayPal for postage I always use my bank account to pay rather than my PayPal balance, so the transaction appears both in the banking transactions and the PayPal transactions (I have both PayPal and my bank linked to Quickbooks), so I believe I have to do a transfer of the payment from the bank to the PayPal bank. I can do the transfer fine and the transfer goes in the the PayPal Bank fine, but when I find the corresponding PayPal transaction it is not offering me any possible matches even though I know there is an exact one. Can anyone help?

Hello @themadstans,
Check the transaction in the Bank feed & PayPal feed.
Somehow you categorize the PayPal statement line of this transfer.
Undo that & match that with the Bank statement line.

Thanks.
Why would you exclude a transaction? Yiu need to show the movement of funds from current bank account to PayPal surely?
Let me share more information on why we need to exclude a transaction, @SRK2024.
When you transfer a payment from PayPal to the bank, the transactions will appear in both accounts since both PayPal and the bank are connected to QuickBooks Online. However, since the transfer is downloaded from the bank, they can't be matched to each other.
As a workaround, if you don't want to exclude the transaction and record the movement of funds. We can categorize the PayPal transaction as an expense, and the transaction in the bank can be categorized as a transfer to PayPal.
Follow these steps:
