I don't think there's any relationship between using paypal and receiving spam.

I've been using paypal for years as buyer & seller and haven't got many emails
from them (nor phishing emails counterfeiting paypal emails), while I know at
least 2 ppl who don't have any paypal account and receive numerous (most of
them fake) emails from paypal...

Actually, I think that spammers send regulary fake ebay & paypal emails to
thousands of email adresses, on the assumption that so many ppl use ebay &
paypal these days that they'll catch a large number of ppl in their nets anyway...
