Join nowHello!
I have setup two different bank accounts in my QB desktop. One for Paypal, another one for my Bank.
Paypal charges a monthly fee for a virtual terminal service. Since I imported Paypal transactions into QB these charges show up properly. And since Paypal charged my Bank for this same service, I can see the charge in my Bank ledger.
It seems to me that if I don't do anything, the balance sheet will account for these charges for the same service twice. How should I address this to reflect just one charge? The charges on my Bank should remain there because they affect the monthly balance.
Thanks!

Thank you for getting back, @gnocchi.
You have two options for this. You can either retain the bank fees on your Business bank account or PayPal. You can enter the sales on your PayPal account, then record the fees once you've transferred the funds from PayPal to Business Bank.
Just in case you want to delete the transactions recorded from your bank, you can go to the register.

I've got your back, @gnocchi.
Since the charge reflecting both on your PayPal and Bank accounts, you'll want to ignore and delete the one showing on your bank account. This way, it will only show on your PayPal account. Here's how:
Moving forward, you'll have to do the same process once you import your PayPal transactions in QuickBooks. This way, you can remove the PayPal charges reflecting from your bank account.

Thank you for your answer,
I forgot to mention that I'm entering all these data without using Bank Feeds. Unfortunately, I'd be unable to modify the ledger for my Bank, as we use their statements to reconcile the account. Because the payments from the Bank to Paypal was recorded as a payment to a "Vendor" called "Paypal Merchant Expenses", I left these records untouched and deleted the corresponding ones in the Paypal account.
What do you think about this approach?
Thank you!
