Does eBay reveal full Credit Card numbers to seller?
In three cases over recent years when I have written an honest but negative review, my CC suddenly is compromised! And PayPal is not an option for me. Fortunately, my CC issuer is very understanding and overnighted a replacement CC.
If this situation holds true, I'm not writing any reviews for eBay goods.
What do you know about this type of thing?

No, eBay never reveals full credit card numbers to sellers. Sellers don’t see your payment details at all - not the card number, not even the last 4 digits.
All payments go through eBay’s managed payments system. Your card info is encrypted and processed securely. Sellers only see that the item was paid for, nothing more.
If your card got compromised after leaving feedback, it’s most likely a coincidence or from another source. Good thing your bank responded quickly.
Here’s a page with eBay’s safety tips if you want to double-check your account settings:

Leaving honest feedback helps everyone and your private info is safe - sellers have no access to it.
