In case you were using Gnome, please note that the Bluetooth receiving works only when the bluetooth tab of the gnome-control-center is opened.

Ref.:

Bluetooth-enabled devices can send files to your Downloads folder only when the Bluetooth panel is open.

Try running the Obexd deamon with the -a option like: 

/usr/libexec/bluetooth/obexd -a
