How to categorize PayPal authorization holds (and reversals of account holds) imported from PayPal app.

I am importing transactions from PayPal and need to "add" them by selecting the appropriate income or expense category. Does anyone know which category I should choose for transactions from PayPal that have a description of "account hold for open authorization" and "reversal of general account hold"?  These transactions are always for equal amounts and effectively "cancel each other out",  but I don't have any idea how to record a category for them. They aren't truly income or expenses.  Please advise! I have searched for these terms and cant find any answers.

 

Side note:  I am getting a message of Please correct the highlighted areas of your submission and try again, followed by "post flooding detected" when I try to re-submit. There are no highlighted areas.  Is this just a super glitchy page? 

 

Thanks in advance!
