Welcome. I have a problem that someone has accessed my paypal account but I have not received any notification or code via sms. And He added a US bank and converted my euro balance to USD. But I quickly changed password and set pin code. My question is, after all this, should I worry that I will be re-entered by the scammer?

Check the account for attached email addresses. Click the Gear (settings) then check the email account that is attached to your account. That should be what you expect and not something new. Also, change your email login password as it may well be compromised as well.
Log back into PayPal, and if 2FA is not enabled, turn it on. PayPal with no 2FA is a hacked account waiting to happen, it's not a matter of "if" it's a matter of "when". Again, as I have stated before, don't put all your 2FA answers on one device with saved passwords.
This is NOT PayPals fault that these measures are necessary, it is the fault of unscrupulous individuals that have no conscience and feel that it is their right to steal from anyone they wish.
