These Cloudflare WAF rules (not my creation) should help mitigate some of the threat by blocking TOR traffic, blocking bots and blocking datacenter IPs (eg bots running on a VPS). The rules are granular so you can tweak them when you start to identify the traffic sources of the bad actors.

You'll probably need to block entire ASNs. I assume most of your legitimate customers aren't using VPNs or eg DigitalOcean droplets to access your site.

In addition, you should start looking for alternatives to PayPal in case they decide to drop you.
