Hi Robert,

The customer tracking in GC is all or nothing - you can't have a "normal" 
transaction associate with a customer, if you want that level of detail you 
have to go the whole hog and create invoice & post payment....

If you aren't too bothered about tracking the paypal by individual customer, 
then you can just go ahead and directly enter a transaction between income & 
paypal accounts, but you would have to use the notes field to record the 
customer's details.

HTH,
Maf.
