Best way to manually add a paypal transaction and record fees

I'm new to Reckon and have set up the connection with paypal, but how do I go about recording a historic transaction from earlier this month?
I tried downloading CSVs etc from paypal and uploading them manually, but nothing ends up showing up when I try to do this.
I've worked out how to record the payment against an invoice... but how do I then record the corresponding paypal fee so that everything balances properly??

Option 1 - create a new bank PayPal clearing, receive pmts to this, trf net proceeds to actual bank then write a cheque to bank fees Pp clearing is now zero.

Option 2 - receive pmt to undeposited funds, make deposit allocate fees to say a fees clearing acct "cash goes back to", process a jnl to clear fees clearing.

Hi there,

I am very small business owner; Once I withdraw money from PayPal to my Bank Account (this amount will be net after PayPal took their merchant fees)

What's the best way to record flat 3% fees when I allocate receipt from my Bank Acc to Customer (PayPal) and GL (Sales)

Thanks

Amit

Hi Jacqui,

My boss processed the payment for a supplier invoice through PayPal. and the payment appears on the credit card statement as below.

So far, I have been processing this payment just the same as the bill payment with the credit card as below.

This bill payment has not involved PayPal even though the description on the card statement says "PAYPAL* CLOUDALLYLT "

Can you tell me how I can process this transaction including the PayPal account involved?

Some transfer transactions have been made to a PayPal account so, I might have to create PayPal account in Reckon Premier (our accounting system) and process all the PayPal-involved transactions appropriately.

Thank you.

I would simply setup a Bank Acct "PayPal", you can then process the receipt and associated costs then transfer the net balance to the actual bank
