Where is the £7 accounted for twice?   Is it also in the exchange rate 
conversion or something?   What you describe above sounds exactly the correct 
thing to have done.

AIUI, invoice for €500 touches A/R and Income accounts.

Payment touches A/R, Bank and Exp:BankCharge (with the currency conversion 
complication, granted).

Did you create a separate txn too for the bank fee, or discount the invoice or 
something?

I'm not quite getting what you did to make the £7 appear twice.

now, that I do understand.  either the accounts are "correct" or they are not! 
The size of the error is not as important as there being the error to find!
