[GNC] Can someone confirm if this split transaction is correct?

[Derek Atkins]

You should have three splits.  You entered 4 splits (two splits into
Assets:PayPal:GBP).  That's why it's showing up twice.

Instead, you should merge those into a single split of 906-38.26, because
your Asset account really only increased by 867.74
