Used Paypal on ebay then got fraudulent charges on my credit card

[koba49]

I ran in to a problem todat dec. 27th. I purchased two items on ebay from the same seller, the ebay site was acting a little strange. I sent payment the transation went through. Three hours later my credit card company is calling me asking about some charges that I did not make. Some how someone got my credit card number, I do not know if it was from paypal or ebay. but it looks like someone has gotten into one of the sites. The problem is I do not know what one. Has any one else run into this problem. My credit card company stoped the unauthorized charges, but the question of security of these two sites is what I am trying to find out about.

Perhaps you clicked on a link in  an email you got? Sounds like they got your username and password. Always login to websites by typing it in your browser, do not click on links in email.

Same thing happened to me on Jan 4, 2011.   Bank called me today.  I don't remember the eBay site acting strangely, but I seem to remember somewhere between eBay and logging onto Paypal it asking me for my cc number.  I thought it was odd since it should have already been on Paypal, but we had another fraud back in November so I was assuming it needed the new acct. number.

Right now I'm changing my Paypal password, dropping my bank account from it and only using a cc to pay for purchases.  I will also try to alert Paypal to check their systems.  Something is definitely wrong......
