Yes, that’s right Chris - Your PayPal account is another money-holding scenario.
Process all your PayPal Sales Receipts & Refunds through this & transfer the net deposit amounts into your bank account (out of the PayPal account posting to your bank account).
You can use the “Transfer” feature for this although personally I prefer to use “Write Chq” as it allows for more detail.
Memorise one of each of your Sales Receipt, Refund & Net Transfer transactions under a Memorised Transaction Group called “PayPal” then you can auto-enter correctly each time & just edit accordingly.

Hi Chris
Yes, you’ve got it
If the Eway gateway is a separate fund-holding account through which transactions go (customer payments less fees) then yes, I would create it as another “Bank” account.
You’re correct in that these clearing accounts technically don’t need to be reconciled because they should always come back to $ 0.00 (customer payment less fees > net transfer)
