Notifications have been switching itself off now for several weeks in fact it doesn't actually switch on even though it says it's on its not.
Can you just issue an update to the app to fix it

I just received email notification of a payment that was sent to me five days ago. I almost shipped another item, because I thought it was a new purchase. Why should it take this long to notify me that I have received a payment?

Hi there. I am Also having the same issue, however originally the notifications were staying switched on until the point when a transaction took place. There would be no notification & then upon checking settings would find them turned off. There have also been reports of people having problems logging in as well but I've not suffer that problem.
It would seem that Paypal are well aware of the problem but are keeping quiet about it. I have tried searching these forums for the problem but nothing much seems to come up apart from the login issue so maybe it is being selectivly hidden from search results. I ran a search on Google following a similar glib reply to the 1 you got & found info on this forum as well as various other sites. IT IS NOT YOUR PHONE it has something to do with a botched update to the Paypal system.
From what I can gleen it seems to affect IOS & Samsung Galaxies running Android but am not too clear if others on the Android platform are affected too so perhaps someone could add to this.
It is really annoying as like yourself I rely upon the notification, particularly for sales from my webstore. eBay is not as much of a problem as I get an Item paid notice via their app but the Paypal notice is confirmation at a glance & I like it.
I do wish these developers would test these things out properly before deployment &/or once it is established there is a problem (which would be pretty quickly) Why on earth don't they simply revert back to the old system again till they can iron out the bugs ?
Instead they seem to keep people in the dark, getting them frustrated, telling them to uninstall etc, going around in circles, telling them it's the phone at fault, rather that admitting that it's them who have cocked up & saving a lot of people from tearing out there hair. Come on Paypal, WAKE UP !

I am no longer receiving Paypal Notifications on my Phone when someone purchases an item in my Online Shop or money is received. I have contacted Paypal about this several times and have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app a few times..even after 3 recent updates (including one today)...still no notifications! This has been going on for a few weeks now! Upon research, it seems like the notification settings are turning off automatically when signing out of the app because I can turn all of the notifications on and when I log back into the app and go back to the notifications settings page, they are turned off! Anyone else experiencing this issue or know how to fix?

Good News Everyone !!! It Seems to be Fixed at long last. App had an update a couple of days ago & following a sale I noticed a notification as well as the SMS I had set after the notification failure. Had another few sales since then & all seem fine now.
If yours is still not working I suggest you download the latest update.
All the best, shroom

PayPal send me an email saying I must read a message in notifications near top of page. Dah! There is no notification anywhere. Now What? Why does a multi billion dollar company have such a useless android app. My kids could EASILY write a better application than this useless piece of crap.
