Bank charged me twice purchase price on credit card

I have my credit card linked to a paypal account. I have made two small purchases on ebay.

On checking my credit card transaction history and paypal transaction history it appears that my bank is adding a fee of exactly the purchase price of the items.

Why is this happening?

How can I stop it happening?

    Call your bank

  • Is your paypal balance going down or are you paying direct with credit card using paypal as a payment processor ?

    Also call paypal and your bank.

      The latter, paying direct with credit card using paypal as a payment processor.

      I have let the seller, paypal and my bank know that I want to cancel both transactions.

      The purchases are both small, and I wouldn't mind paying twice the price but I want to know why it happening.
