The easiest way to confirm your PayPal account's timezone is to download a monthly statement from your PayPal dashboard in .csv format, which displays the timezone in column "C" (statements in .pdf format do not display this information).
PayPal's default timezone is PST. If you have changed this in PayPal, update the timezone in Bookkeep under PayPal setting (Configure) to match your timezone in PayPal.
