Me too.  But paypal is hardly alone in this; I just got another - and,
like Paul's, it can't seem to make up its mind whether it's an
ignorebot or not:

First it says they aren't reading it, then it says they do accept it.
(I suppose these technically aren't in conflict - they accept it but
don't "display" it - but in context I think they are.)

I sent them a note pointing out the conflict.  We'll see if I get a
non-canned response; in at least one past case, doing so did draw a
non-canned reply agreeing that the wording could use some touchup, so
there is hope (though perhaps not much hope in paypal's case :-รพ).
