[GNC] Can I find transactions into an account that has only one split?

[Adrien Monteleone]

Maybe. That's a trial and error sort of situation.

Certainly, you can craft a Find from the Accounts tab with multiple 
criteria, the first should likely find all transactions matching 
Assets:PayPal, then the next might exclude all other accounts, or 
specific accounts. (since it is most likely you would have had an extra 
split to Expenses:PayPal Fees, just exclude that match from the results)

An alternative is to run the first find to get a list. Then with that 
resulting register list open, run another find to narrow it down as needed.

Which is the best or shortest route - I have no idea. You'll have to try 
and then see what works best for you.

-----
for the record, all transactions have at least two splits—a debit and a 
credit. I know why you used the terminology you chose, but I put this 
here for clarification. That will be important for you in the future.

Regards,
Adrien
