I have a lot of experience with PayPal transaction import with Quicken, and what you're trying to do is impossible. Unless if PayPal radically changed their system over the past year, all you can get that would be compatible with a financial program, would be QIF format. QIF has no dupe detection, and no way to do anything with a transaction record that shows the change in status. However, I've never seen a status field from PayPal. QIF format also brings along a useless "transaction fee" field (always zero) within a split on every transaction.
If you re-import the same transactions, you'll end up with uncontrollable dupes that will have to be deleted one at a time (since there is no bulk delete command within gnucash). The best you can do is just import the transactions from PayPal and manually correct the bogus splits, and the transaction dates (which are always wrong). Should be easy to reconcile, since every completed transaction should result in a zero balance. _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
