Ok so a guy wanted my email to send me money for an item I was selling. But he sent me an email back saying he paid me. No money showing in my PayPal acct. I clicked the transaction # and it took me to my page to log in. So I did like a moron. I immediately thought geez this could be a scam. So I changed my password. Will he be able to get any info now?

Hi @Blair81,
Thank you for joining the community!
It sounds like you did the right thing! If you logged in to the PayPal website the second time through a fresh browser window and not that link, changing the password from that session would help protect your account. If you also gave your security questions during the first login, you may want to change those as well. If you want to be super safe, running a virus scan is also always a good idea.
I hope this helps!
