What do I do with "credits" from Paypal?

I have just opened up a “merchant account” with PayPal for our company. In order to verify bank account details, PayPal sent me a credit of £0.01 together with a four digit code to our company bank account. They also paid a “goodwill gesture” of £1.00 directly to our PayPal account, due to problems getting our debit card linked to Paypal account.

So, I now have two transactions from PayPal (£0.01cr and £1.00cr) showing on our bank account. How do I tag them when I download the statement?

Hi @Harvie

“Misc income” would do the job. The below is taken from our old forum:

  1. Click the ‘Tag Me!’ to tag the deposit.
  2. Then select ‘Something else not on this list’ .
  3. Enter ‘Miscellaneous Income’ for the 'Post to Account.
  4. Enter ‘Paypal Verification Deposit’ as the ‘Description’.
  5. Finally, click ‘Save’ to save the entry.

Thanks so much for the fast and extremely helpful response.

Thought that I might have had to wait till the New Year to get a reply! Guess that I’m not the only one who is working during Christmas and New Year :smile:
