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

[Adrien Monteleone]

Then I'm at a loss as even with a well crafted Find operation, or using 
the Transaction Report as Chris suggested, you can't end up with a list 
that doesn't include transactions where no fee was paid by you. Only 
*you* know if a split needs to be added for that fee. How do you expect 
GnuCash to magically know?

At best, you can find/report all transactions that have a split 
involving the PayPal asset account that don't also involve the Fee 
expense account. (which is what you initially asked for)

If this is strictly a case of items you are selling (not buying) then 
further restrict your Find results or Report to filter on Debits only to 
the PayPal asset account. (A Find can do this, not certain of reports) 
Any Credits to that account should be when you spend rather than 
receive. (assuming you entered all transactions correctly)

If the Report path is the easiest or only method that works, and you 
can't filter out Credits to that asset account, you should at least be 
able to sort by debit/credit, or in an absolute worst case, show the 
debits and credits splits individually and then you can go over it with 
a fine comb to pick out which transactions to adjust.
