Originally I was using the Quickbooks online App for mac to manage everything. I believe the PayPal processing fees stopped going to the PayPal account when I switched to the web browser access.
I switched due to the Quickbooks online app no longer having support (ended in April 2021), I believe it is possible that when I made the switch that is when the fees started being assigned to the undeposited funds account instead of the PayPal account. PayPal transactions also no longer get the green "match" button like they used to, so it could have started around when that change happened as well. Is this the new normal behavior of matching PayPal transactions to sales receipts?
Question 1: How can I make it so that when I match a PayPal transaction to the sales receipt, the processing fee, which is automatically added to Quickbooks, is added to the PayPal account and not the undeposited funds account?
Question 2: Not completely related, but for anyone who uses PayPal and matches to sales receipts, is there no longer a way to get the green "match" button show up? Now I must open each transaction, click find match, then search for it.
If relevant, I use QB online from the accountant view not the business view mode.

Hello there, @Schuggtf.
The settings for the Connect to PayPal app aren't the same as traditional apps connected to your QuickBooks Online (QBO) company.
Follow these steps to change its settings:
1. Log in to your QBO company.
2. Go to the Banking tab.
3. Press the Edit (pencil) icon on the PayPal Bank account.
4. Select Edit Settings.
Other issues you may encounter when using this app, you can refer to this article: Connect to PayPal FAQ.
However, if your PayPal account is connected to QuickBooks Payments, you can update the account where the payments will be recorded. I'll guide you how:
1. Log in to your QuickBooks Online account.
2. Go to the Gear icon located in the upper right-hand corner.
3. Under Your Company, select Account and Settings.
4. On the left menu, select Payments.
5. Go to the Chart of Accounts section, select the pencil ✎(edit) icon.
6. Choose the correct bank account for Where do you want to record payments?.
7. Select Save.
Here's an article for reference: Choose where to record payments and processing fees for QuickBooks Payments.
You can also refer to this link: Use the Connect to PayPal app. It has a table that lists transaction types and how they're handled within QBO.

Hello Maybelle,
I have checked there, however the settings only allow me to record the type of expense as shown in the screen shot.
as a side note, when I click the pencil button, the whole page freezes and times out, so I can not view other settings. I tried 2 browsers, but both had the same issues with it freezing when attempting to edit.

Hi Thomas,
Thanks for checking the article that Maybelle shared. At this point, I would recommend contacting our Support team. That way, they can check the issue about freezing further.
