Fraud Nigeria buying on ebay

hiya, i received an ebay message from a person who wanted to buy an item from me at crazy prices. It sounded too good to be true.

 

I gave the person my email address so they could make a payment to my paypal

 

The address i was to ship the item to was 13 Forlain Street, Lagos Nigeria.

 

I hope that my paypal or my Gmail account is going to be compromised?

What steps do i take to ensure this is not going to happen?

As long as you didn't give them your password Smiley Wink then you should be ok.

 

Loads of folks have our email addresses but not the passwords that go with it..............hopefully.
