Thank you for reaching out and sharing your insights on categorizing PayPal transactions in QuickBooks Online (QBO),avreadings. I understand how challenging it is to update multiple entries, especially when preparing accurate financial reports.
Please note that the option to change how PayPal transactions are auto-categorized in QBO depends on how PayPal is connected. If it is connected as a bank account, there could be Bank rules in place that affect the categorization of transactions. You can review and adjust these rules to better suit your needs.
If PayPal is connected via the PayPal app in the App Transactions window, QBO relies on the transaction details provided by PayPal during the import process to determine categorization. In this case, the program doesn't have the option to change the auto-categorization directly. You can consider reaching out to PayPal to suggest changes if you want different categorization behavior from their side.
