How to record a customer double payment, deposit, refund and negative deposit

Our customer paid an invoice twice through Merchant Services- which I am not sure how this is possible. Regardless. The first payment was applied to the open invoice and correctly recorded as a deposit with other deposits on that day and balanced. The second payment came through several days later.

I recorded the payment to the customer's account which created a credit due (negative amount) not a credit memo. I need to be able to record the payment so it can be recorded in that day's deposits. 

Since the Customer has a credit due, I wrote a check to the customer in qb and used the accounts receivable account which zero'd out the customers account.

So in Merchant Services, I reversed the charge for the overpayment and the customer was refunded. The refund shows up in the daily deposit as a negative amount and since the credit was more than the other deposits for that day the daily deposit is a negative amount.

Quickbooks for mack wont allow me to record a negative amount for the daily deposits. If I deposit only the positive amounts for the day then I won't be able to balance and reconcile.

I use QB desktop for PC on a daily basis and the Mac is throwing me off. 

Help!
