Thank you for your support. I have finally discovered what happened. I found a product by searching online (hexagonal spindle), but it said via eBay. I bought online, entering my credit card number (I was not even registered with eBay at the time). The supplier sent me the spindle. The legend "G Corner" refers to their shop, which I did not know existed and certainly have never visited! So the "Pay pal Reader" you mentioned would seem also to exist as a virtual concept. The end result is that I receive a statement entry with legend "PAYPAL *G Corner", that means nothing to me as account owner, nor to Master card, nor to Pay pal! Not a brilliant audit trail, but fortunately I rang the supplier up in Yorkshire, and the lady who answered the phone traced the sale on the ledger, given the amount, name and date. So the moral of the story is remember what you buy, price and date, and if you get stuck, ring the supplier. She sounded really nice too!
