3. Just check that everything is intact and don't stew too much about it.

I sell on ebay and last week I got a bizarre email about something I had listed for sale the day before. Supposedly it was from ebay and they wanted me to click through to check something out. If the scammer can get my ebay password, after all, they can charge whatever they want to my PayPal account which is also linked to my bank account and a credit card. I checked the sites and listing on my own and everything was fine so I just ignored if. If something makes you nervous, change your passwords.
