The messages from PayPal usually do include that sort of "message from seller". The phishers word these to deliberately exploit the issue.
The last time I received a message like this it included this message:
"Note from [Fraudulent Seller]:
Fraud Alert: Didn't make this order? Call at [Fraudulent 800 number]"
And also the message:
"Don't recognize this request? Before paying, make sure you recognize this person. Don't engage with this request if you're unsure about it. PayPal won't contact you through a money request."
But, it did come legitimately from service@paypal.com, and was almost certainly the type of issue OP is describing. I'm not sure PayPal can do anything here but rephrase money requests or invoices as "potential" if they don't come from a contact known to the account. (It'd be cool if they did that.)
