How does PAYPAL work?
I tried to synchronize the PAYPAL account. BUT it's really a disaster....
When I make online payments and as a payment method I use PAYPAL, the app (android or web) counts me 2 times that expense. One on the PAYPAL account and then later on the account where PAYPAL goes to withdraw. Am I doing something wrong or does it actually work that way?

PayPal payments from the debit cards are weird and not always appearing which makes budgeting complex
It'd be great if even if the recipient from the debit account wouldn't be PayPal but the real receiving account

Sometimes I pay using Paypal balance,
sometimes I pay using the Card directly,
sometimes I pay with the card but through paypal.So I want them both connected to Wallet. Card and Paypal. I think it makes sense.
In the third case the transaction appears twice, but it shouldn't appear on Paypal record, because it was just a middleman. Paypal connection should only include Paypal balances. Don't know if it's technically possible tho, but I hope so.

I use PayPal account in both ways:
1. I pay using PayPal account's money
2. I pay using PayPal as an interface for all my other bank accountSo, for method 1. there is no problem, but for method 2. there are duplicated transaction that make statistic not precise at all.
In order to solve this situation I would suggest to add an option to merge already synced transaction or delete already synced transaction.
Or there are other option we can use in order to align statistics ? (add mock transaciton might be an option but wuold be a really bad option), -

If you have a credit/ debit card connected to PayPal and it is set as default source of money for payments than just so not sync paypal with Wallet. It has no sense.
The only scenario that has sense is when you transfer money to PayPal and you pay from that account directly.
