You are the only person who can put a stop to this, your paypal account is your responsibility, also this is an ebay message board.

You need to change your passwords, review your accounts, and call Paypal if you haven't already.  Call your bank, report it to law enforcement, and place a fraud alert on your credit.

Perhaps not, the advice that castlemagicmemories gave is sound.

You need the Paypal Resolution Centre which is on your PP account page under Tools.

 

And check the addresses that are listed on your PP account. Delete those that are not your own.

 

And your bank and your credit card. As instructed.

 

EBay cannot help. They are an entirely different company.

Don't panic. 

Just call Paypal, they will fix the problem for you. 

 

Years ago, somebody bought an item that I didn't recognize so I called Paypal, and they fixed it. They found out my account was hacked. 

 

Ask Paypal what to do to prevent this in the future.
