If you use a credit card to buy anything then it's already being "tracked", it'll show up on your statements. I just checked my own account and I can see all my direct firearm-related purchases listed there. The die set I ordered last week via Paypal though just shows as Ebay Shopping from a Pty Ltd company, nothing specific about firearms.
Whether they do anything with that data is the issue. I was upset twenty years ago when Ebay insisted we had to have a Paypal account to pay for anything, but it actually worked out well.

I buy everything on eBay without a paypal account. I use a debit card account number, the sale still goes through a paypal/eBay page but I don’t have to log on or anything and I have to choose to not remember my details each and every time.

First you say you recommend paypal because of buyer protection. And then you say you have never used it so see no issue. The insurance of PayPal is worthless as you are using it outside their terms and reference, they may not find out and you might be fine... but if they do you are paddling up s**t creek.
Secondly there are a few ways sellers can game the system and even if they have done wrong keep your money
