Tom, When you record the payment of the invoice, record the full amount. Then either make a separate expense transaction for the fee balanced against your PayPal account/checking account. (depending on if you use the PayPal account and then transfer afterwards) or edit the payment

I’ve been testing out Gnucash for an envelope-like system for a bit and so far, it seems do-able if your reporting and accounting needs are minimal. I ignore the budgeting features altogether and don’t really use reports much. This site got me started:
