Help for the mentally challenged: other income!

I have an account called other income, into which I imported Sales and Payments from my paypal account. All the items were listed as payments and the balance was entered as a negative. The type of each transaction actually says, DEP for deposit.

There is something that I don't get. Must be something to do with double entry.

For example, the transaction line says Received from Amount From Acct m collins 51.30 Other income

Rather than seeing other income as the recipient of the money, it is debiting that account. It says, at the top, Deposit To Paypal [which is where the money went], but doesn't show it as a transfer /import to other income. I have Paypal and Other income both as Bank types. This must have been an error on set up with importing from Quicken.

I am wondering if there is a way to export and import this data into proper accounts without screwing it all up. When I try to change type to income or expense it says I will not be able to enter or make changes directly to the account.

Thanks for the help. Jeff ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jefferis Peterson, Pres. Web Design and Marketing
