    Get in touch with the credit card provider ASAP. It may be that someone has cloned your card or intercepted your details in some way. If the card has been used on a different account then this sounds like a card problem not a paypal payment. If it had been a paypal issue then it would be more likely that your existing account would have been used to buy stuff or to sell things and grab the money.

    Look under your account details (Left hand margin) when you are logged safely into ebay. It is in there somewhere it just shows the last 4 digits of the card you used.
