I'm sure you recognize that this is an accounting question. Whatever you
would do in the pen-and-ink ledger, you do in GC. Here's how I would
analyze it.

You have a $73 credit to Income:Donations. The offsetting debit would be
to Expense:Postage. You might make an "In Kind" notation in a
Description or Memo box.

If you give members statements at the end of the year, you would include
the $73 in the total on this member's statement. If you list individual
donations on those statements, you would note it as "In-Kind Donation:
Postage."
