Paypal doesn't send through your CC info so there is likely no
correlation. Your CC info could have been captured anywhere, or even
hacked from an online site. The charges could have been anywhere, in
any country, including the USA. Over the years I have had card numbers
stolen and used in the US, in China, and a number of countries in
Europe. Just call your credit card provider, cancel that card, and get
a new one. This is routine for them.

I paypal'ed what I did, and have only seen the direct charges to my
paypal for the chinese purchases.
I don't know if credit card works thru the ebay stuff I've bought, or
the other sites when you use paypal / credit card option.
Obviously if you go via credit card checkout, all bets are off.
