My help is free, donations are voluntary
So don't worry about it

But, Paypal typically will not send spam
They may email rarely including:
PayPal Periodical Monthly Newsletter and Product Updates*    
Auction Seller Tips    
ALL Policy Change Notices    
Customer Feedback Surveys    
Partner/Third-Party Promotions    
PayPal Developer Network updates

Take note: You must select these options in order for Paypal too email about the above info
In paypal, these options are selected under Profile>>Notifications
You can uncheck any of the above if you wish

Don't forget, if you still receive spam from Paypal
It also may not be a legit Paypal email, but some others impersonating their address
Take caution, these emails can look legit, but may direct you too a website of their own that looks very similiar too a Paypal page

This is part of their prevention tips
Email Security

    * Look for a PayPal Greeting: PayPal will never send an email with the greeting "Dear PayPal User" or "Dear PayPal Member." Real PayPal emails will address you by your first and last name or the business name associated with your PayPal account. If you believe you have received a fraudulent email, please forward the entire email—including the header information—to [email protected]. We investigate every spoof reported. Please note that the automatic response you get from us may not address you by name.
    * Don't share personal information via email: We will never ask you to enter your password or financial information in an email or send such information in an email. You should only share information about your account once you have logged in to https://www.paypal.com/.
    * Don't download attachments: PayPal will never send you an attachment or software update to install on your computer.
