Exactly, that's the idea with phishing. So then you click on the (phished) link in the email which is not going to be paypal (will often be a variant like paypal.someDomain.com or paypai.ru or whatever) and try to log in there, and now they have your actual paypal credentials.
I don't love paypal either, but sounds like this one is not on them.
