Hi,

Use the default configuration as a starting point only. You *will* need to 
tweak it to suit your own personal situation

If you have 2 checking accounts, 3 savings accounts and a couple of credit 
cards and a loan, then you need to manually create them.

Every account that you have in the real would should be modelled in GC.

Your accounts tree might look something like

Assets:
    Bank Checking 1
    Bank Checking 2
    Savings
        Savings1
        RainyDaySavings2
        HighInterestSavings3

Liabilities
     CreditCards
          Amex1
           Visa2
    Loans
          CarLoan
          Mortgage

Income
    Sub-accounts

Expense
     Sub-accounts

Equity
   Opening Balances


Usually, any transaction will affect 2 accounts.  
So Income:Sales -> Asset:Bank:Checking1 sounds correct

Assets:Bank:Checking1 > Bank:Savings:HighInterest3 would cover the case where 
you save some money away

Assets:Bank:Checking2 -> Expenses:BankFees:ForexCommission might suit the fees 
the bank charges when you get some foreign currency converted.

Maybe you should take a look at the tutorial & concepts guides on the website?

HTH,
Maf.
