PayPal reported as referrer in Google Analytics

I’m pretty sure this is going to fix the issue – so marking this as resolved… I’ll re-post if not.

I believe the solution is (as long as you’re using the newer universal analytics .js )

to just add paypal.com to the excluded referrals, which can be found in the Admin section, under ‘Property’ and ‘Tracking Info’.

Thanks to the site here for pointing that out:
