I totally agree with the moderator's note. I've been using PayPal for several
years and very rarely receive emails from them (maybe once a year.) A lot of
spammers and phishers do pretend to send messages from PayPal and it's not
always easy to tell the wheat from the chaff.

Anyone can forge an email header and pretend to be someone they are not, and I
imagine this is probably the case with the bulk of the messages you have been
receiving. One way to test this would be to log onto PayPal, click on My
Account, then Add or Edit Email. There you can tell the real PayPal to contact
you at a different email address (assuming you have more than one. You can
easily create another if you don't). If, after this, you continue to receive
emails at your old email addy, then you'll know for sure those messages are spam
or phishing attempts.

keeps sending me emails even though I don't want it to.
Can this be considered as spam? Can I complain to someone?
(I tried using their system to ask them to stop but it didn't
do anything).

I wish to keep the payment info they send me, I just don't wan't
any commercial annoucements from them.

Thank you

[Mod note: Many of these could be phishing attempts spewed from botnets.
Go to directly PayPal's web site, login, check your preferences and
options. Do NOT go to PayPal via links found in an email!]
