Thanks for clarifying that, @Temp20220615B.
I know situations like this can be scary, and I want to ensure I guide you in the right direction. It sounds like your card number was compromised and used on our platform to complete a payment. When that happens, you won't have the option to dispute the charge through your PayPal account, but you can contact our Customer Support team for this to be further investigated. If you haven't already done so, please report that the card has been compromised to your financial institution directly as well.
I hope this is resolved for you soon.
