Security Issues on PayPal

This year I have encountered several cases of threats to my Paypal account.   For unknown reasons, I have received emails from merchants informing me about payments to them via Paypal.  The latest being from   hostinger.  Months ago I had written to Paypal on an earlier case , but got  superficial reply , advising me to change password, etc.       Now it happens again ,  stressing me down !

 

My question is :  how does these dubious merchant even know that I have a Paypal account ?  How can I hide myself from them ?

Will Paypal make payment  without my specific authorization ?    Any security upgrade that I can make to the payment process ..
