@m0riarty The whole point is that you did not use your paypal account, the seller may have done. If you paid online with a credit card then the seller may have 'processed' those payments via THEIR card reader ie reading YOUR card and sending the funds to THEIR paypal account. SO NOTHING WOULD SHOW ON YOUR PAYPAL ACCOUNT. That is why you may see PAYPAL on your card statement but not realise it was a PAYPAL transaction. I mention it because I have seen that happen hundreds of times on here and then later the poster comes back to say that they had to pay the seller again as they chargeback a correct transaction. Just to be aware, if it really was a scam fine but I am giving you an alternate explanation.
