I tried adding the minus sign and I still got the Unbalanced-USD thing
but that doesn't I was doing it correctly.
Entering these split transactions had been the biggest issue I have
encountered switching to GNUCash.

I will note another possible way to flip the columns - just put a - sign in
before the value, then on tabbing-out of the column it will flip to the other
side (and lose the minus sign!).

In the world I worked in before retiring there can be different kinds of

accounting but it's my old habits and instincts kicking in.
So, I don't consider a refund an error but a kind normal transaction.
An error has a completely different meaning to me.
