Multiple posting/revert of paypal transactions

THis first time I see such situation. First of all - I have overseas card and paypal account attached on it. Recently in Brazil I used *99 taxi which allows payment via paypal.

What I see right now is 8 (eight) postings and reversals on my card of the same transaction - it happens every day since the day of transaction. Every single time new charge is with different - the current exchange rate. Very last posting is about 2% difference (not in my favor) than the very first one - on day of the taxi ride/transaction.

Anyone have seen this? How to deal with it?

You must have changed your paypal password already, correct? I would also disconnect the card from the account. Are the transactions marked as paypal charges on your credit card account or something else? If they're not I'd have my card replaced.

I did not disconnect the card because it is the only card I have currently with Paypal. In terms of the transaction, the amount and organization is billed from is correct, here is how it looks for two attempted charges:

Code:
08/10/2016 12:58:30	Conversion Fee - PAYPAL *99 - 03003131739	$0.63	Fee Reversed
08/10/2016 12:58:30	Purchase - PAYPAL *99 - 03003131739 - (59.10 BRL @ 2.348)	$25.17	Reversed

08/10/2016 12:57:31	Conversion Fee - PAYPAL *99 - 03003131739	$0.63	Pending
08/10/2016 12:57:31	Purchase - PAYPAL *99 - 03003131739 - (59.10 BRL @ 2.348)	$25.17	Pending

08/10/2016 03:19:14	Conversion Fee - PAYPAL *99 - 03003131739	$0.63	Fee Reversed
08/10/2016 03:19:14	Purchase - PAYPAL *99 - 03003131739 - (59.10 BRL @ 2.348)	$25.17	Reversed

08/10/2016 03:18:22	Conversion Fee - PAYPAL *99 - 03003131739	$0.63	Pending
08/10/2016 03:18:22	Purchase - PAYPAL *99 - 03003131739 - (59.10 BRL @ 2.348)	$25.17	Pending
Such attempts and then reversal are eight, as I said. Seems they are trying to bill, it does not go and gets reversed, then another attempt comes. When logging on at Paypal there is no information about posted transaction because all above are 'pending' and then reversal.

Card can't get replaced because it is prepaid card which still has some balance.
