That's not exploitable. Remember that the "XS" in XSS stands for  
"cross-site": you have to be able to trigger the scripting using  
ordinary requests from another site. To generate this cookie, you'd  
need to already have scripting access to the paypal.com domain - in  
which case you don't care anymore.
