Changes I make on paypal do not reflect in ZenCart, is this normal?

I've been meaning to ask this for a while, but I kept forgetting.

Anyway, I'm referring to using PayPal Express. If I log in to my paypal account and do a capture, refund, or void an authorization, this does not get appended to the order status.

I'm just wondering if this is normal.

When I used paypal IPN, and made a refund, this would be appended to the order comments. But with PayPal Express this doesn't happen unless you do the capture/refund directly from within ZenCart.

It should all get reflected in Zen Cart normally if your IPN communications are working properly.

Everything updates fine with the PayPal IPH module, but with the PayPal Express mod, I have to all the operations within ZC, e.i., captures, authorizations, refunds, or else they won't be appended to the order comments if I do those things directly on paypal.

I'm using 1.3.7 with all patches.

I have not upgraded to 1.3.8, but I plan to upgrade early next year after the busy holiday season.
