Credit Card Skimmers

Anyone know what information can come off a CC strip for a scammer to use?

Husband had CC number used for an Ebay/Paypal purchase. We contacted CC company and they sent a new CC with a new number. The new number was compromised 2 days after we activated it, also an Ebay/Paypal order. All he bought with the CC was gas, hence the skimmer question.

Even weirder: he got a text from eBay/Paypal notifying him of the 2 purchases but when we try to go on eBay or PayPal directly, they have no account linked to his phone number.

Thoughts?
