Quickbooks online: Bank transaction matching for PayPal bank fails with this error message: "Unexpected Internal Error. (-30000)". The screen even started to flicker for a while. The bank transactions for review did find the correct matches. The error happens when I click the "Match" action. I have cleared browser cache, used other browser, used anonymous browser window, but each time this error occurs.

Hi Nathania_P: Thanks, this solved the issue. Specifically, in my case the system had identified the correct match, but re-matching manually did work.
