Almost scammed

I was nearly  scammed. Last week for an iphone 6s plus. The buyer said they were having trouble paying at there end, so could I send my email and in there words my paypal name,  I said no, but I did send a money request  after which it clicked , and cancelled, but by then they have my email address and my ebay seller name.  I notified ebay & paypal as they sent me a dodgy email claiming to be from paypal, I'm now concerned that can use my ebay account without my permission.

Anyone can see your ebay seller name by looking on ebay !!

 

And every buyer you sell to has your email address.

 

As long as you did not give them your ebay or paypal password and those passwords are strong ones then you are ok.
