How do I categorize a monthly payment to my PayPal Smart Connect credit card from my PayPal balance?

Question

I lately have made my minimum payments on my PayPal credit card from my PayPal account where I receive payments for freelance work. How do I categorize those payments? Thanks ahead of time.

You categorize those payments exactly as you would if the payment was coming from your checking Account, i.e., it's a "transfer" from the PayPal Account to the PayPal credit card Account.  It just happens that you have some money sitting in a PayPal Account as opposed to a Checking Account, but the basic accounting is exactly the same: you use some of that money in the PayPal Account to pay down the liability you've accrued on the PayPal credit card.

Why is this different than any other CC payment?  Two separate accounts - PP cash and PP credit card. Transfer from cash to CC. Category in cash side transaction is [PP credit card acct name].
