Confusing Paypal notifications. What can be done?

Sometimes it is a bit confusing receiving Paypal notifications of payment AFTER an auction lot has already been paid for. I'm kind of one of those Collectors that pretty much as soon as the eBay auction is over, I'm right there making that Paypal payment.
It almost never fails though, a couple of days later there is a computer generated letter from Paypal (the kind you can't respond to!) letting me know I won the lot and it's followed by payment instructions.
I could imagine, if someone did a lot of bidding and winning, one of these form letters might make the buyer question if payment had already been placed through Paypal to the Seller.
I just recieved a letter today from a auction buyer with the note, "I paid for this coin a few days ago..." pasted to the Paypal notification. I wrote him back and tried to explain I was aware and in fact his coin had shipped and he should be getting it today or tomorrow.
Is there a way of disengaging that feature with Paypal via our profile or account? I'd rather those notifications letters not go out unless Paypal can add a feature to their software that allows them to track those who DON'T need it- those who have already paid quickly for the auction.

Go to the PROFILE tab once you access your account page. You can change anything you want there. Cancel the notifications or whatever. You can't do anything about other people's notifications to you, of course.
