Does ebay have any security systems in place to prevent scammers hijacking sellers' accounts?

Purchased an item 30 Dec 2020. EBay website did not give me option to review purchase or select payment method. After clicking on 'Buy now' - nothing. No options to review purchase or confirm purchase. No chance to select payment method. PayPal receipt  appeared in email a few moments later. Payment since has been processed through PayPal with name of seller and ebay identity. Appears as a debit of $3900 on my credit card.

It was a 'pick up' only purchase valued at $3900 AUD. Item located at Bass Victoria. Seller rating 100% with most recent activity in August 2020. Another 'buy now' item for sale by same ebayer is still on ebay. Pick up only from Bass Victoria for this item as well.

Have sent numerous messages through ebay to seller but no response. I have no way of contacting seller except through ebay. I cannot pick up my purchase if I am not given an address.

This ebay transactions now appears to be the work of scammers.
