I notice a pattern on these forums of QBO staff assuming that customers are dumb. My rules are set up properly, and are definitely being applied, they're just not auto-confirming.

Deleting and recreating the rule does the same as simply re-saving it without changes -- it often will confirm some of the transactions awaiting confirmation, but only about 250. I need the automatic confirm to work on an ongoing basis. Again, this works fine on our other bank accounts, but not PayPal.
