I use a redirection service and use a unique address for paypal. And I have to change that periodically because it leaks on to spam lists. In $current_year there's absolutely no reason for them to be sending your actual email address to anyone outside their company. Now, that shouldn't be something Google takes into account, but given that Paypal is inexcusably lax in how they manage customer privacy, my inclination is they're not sticking to best practices as a mass sender and are running afoul of Google's spam filters as a result. BTW, if you use a redirection service and thus have unique emails for all companies you correspond with, you know those emails are private and won't get spam. (Or you turn them off.) It works well enough that I have a gmail rule that blanket prevents them from being filtered.
