2 possible reasons, firstly when you pay for something its never instant, paypal credit the seller and then they take the wait for your funds to transfer.
So the funds can leave your bank account up to a few days after the transaction has been made so that is often why folks can't match the payment.
Secondly another thought is this..........
If you bought something online with a debit or credit card and did NOT log into your paypal account then of course it won't show on your paypal account as you bought as a 'guest buyer'.
However your seller may have processed that payment using their Paypal 'card reader' and so Paypal would show on your bank or card statement.
