Scammer from Ebay has my PayPal info- help!

Help! Someone tried to scam me yesterday!  They texted me from an Ebay item I had on sale and asked if they could send me an extra $300 to buy, on my own, a STEAM gift card and include it with the items and send them all to her cousin!!! Ebay told me what to do, but they have my PayPal info now.  Can they do anything with that? I changed my password.  Also, It shows I have $200 "waiting" for me and do I want to accept the money.  I can't figure out how to see who sent the money. If I click the accept button, will that allow me to see if it's legit? ... View more
