We added that modification in the latest version so you won't have to change the code of the paypal plugin and won't have that error.

You can just install the new install package via the joomla installer and voilà. You don't need to uninstall it before and you won't loose your products. I still recommend you to do a backup of your website before just in case something goes wrong...
