Have found a couple of glitches, but generally it works well.

Probably the main issue is more to do with Samsung than Paypal. On my wife's Samsung, if you close the app to use the ph or another app, it automatically logs you out. So you have to log back in to use it. When this happens, it loses the connection with the card reader.
For some reason the app doesn't "remember" the card reader & won't re-connect. The card reader is still listed in the Bluetooth connections on the ph tho.
To reconnect the card reader, we have to delete the "old conection" from the bluetooth list, re-pair the card reader & then connect it to the app.

All of the above is ONLY using a Samsung Ph. My iPhone has no problems & everything works well & automatically reconnects as required...
Not totally related but I found that Samsung doesn't really work well with security applications so this may be the issue related to Samsung only.
I have a CommBank application that does pretty well the same thing as what you're experiencing on the Samsung. I now have a HTC and the same problem that I had with the Samsung is no longer present on the new phone.

Maybe there is a setting within the Samsung Mobile that will prevent that from happening but I really couldn't be bothered finding out at the time.

I previously had a Samsung Galaxy IV, I could test my wife's phone as she has a version 5 that at this stage it seems to be Samsung related only.
