I was unaware of the price db, and have not *knowingly* set anything up like I see described here https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Online_Quotes Maybe at some time I did mess around and set something up, and that’s what it is using. However, I have noticed sometimes that GnuCash does suggest a number of GBP to enter for a USD transaction, and it’s “guess” is not wildly out. I have not taken much notice of the values, but they seem to imply £1 is worth more than a USD, but not twice as much. I am not sure how GnuCash will ever be able to make a meaningful report that includes any conversion from pounds to dollars, particularly when each transaction will have a different exchange rate. I have tried to keep things simple when USD or EUR payments are made by bank transfer, by recording only amount in pounds received. I am not going to itemise the bank charge, as it is not recorded in any statement. But with PayPal the transaction fee is always recorded in the statements from PayPal. There’s a fee even on GBP transactions.
