It didn't work.  I used a different email address, used the debit card, and no email was sent.  I was, however, sent an email at my regular email address (from paypal) alerting me that my primary email address had changed.   I reset the primary email address to be my regular email address.  I deleted the new email address from my account.  I unchecked the options to send notifications, I saved it, then I re-checked the option to send me notifications when my debit card is used, and saved it again.   Maybe it will work now, but I doubt it.  It seems like a lot of hassle to do something very simple.  Paypal tech support is not helping me.     ...

Thanks,   That's a good idea, I'll give that a try.  This morning I changed my primary email address to be an email address that is not a forwarder.  I received 2 email notices on the old email address (the forwarder email) from Paypal stating that my email address had changed and that a new email address was set as the primary email.   It really seems to me that if paypal can send emails to that address (indicating that my address has changed) then it should work fine for debit card purchases too.   In any case, I'll use the debit card today and see if an email shows up on the new email address.   I have tried unchecking the notification before and saving, then re-checking.  That's a good idea too.  I'll try it again if this doesn't work.   Thanks. ...

Yeah, I had hoped it was something like that too, but I am currently using my own email domain, and I have no junk filtering at all, so I can see all emails coming in, junk or not.   ETA:  I should say that the email address I use with my paypal account is not a true email account, it is an email forwarder.  It automatically forwards all email into my real email account.  I doubt this is the problem, otherwise I would receive no emails from Paypal at all.  But, it is only the debit card notification emails that I do not receive. ...
