Hi there,
Today I checked my emails to see a receipt from paypal of $32.61 sent to eBay inc, support@ ebay . com but I don't even use ebay and haven't even recently bought anything using paypal.
I feel as though this is a breach of my account and was wondering what the best way to go about this issue.
thanks

Is the email receipt actually from PayPal?
It might be a phishing email - made to look as though it's from PayPal. The sender hopes that you will click a link in the email and attempt to sign-in to a fake PayPal web page. Thereby, giving away your account details.
A genuine PayPal email will always have your full name in the greeting. A fake email will usually have something generic, like "Dear PayPal customer".
If it is a fake email, forward it to spoof@paypal.com and then delete it.
