Dodgy seller ?

Well I was looking at a listing of a Nintendo switch. It had no photos for it apart from a picture you would see from a online store, in the description for the item it had a link for "detailed photos." Upon clicking the link you are required to re sign in to eBay, which then after doing that it said the page was unavailable. A few minutes after I tried this, I got a notification from eBay saying I had someone login to my account from half way across the country and I could see they had viewed some items on my account. The reason I knew I did not view them as they had no relevance to anything I need or want at all. Anyway after this I changed my password and added my number to back up my account. Not long after I get another notification from Google saying that someone attempted to sign into my Gmail account, which uses the same email for my eBay. Luckily Google stopped the sign in as it was from an unverified device, and luckily they didn't purchase anything from my eBay account. But I feel not so many others will be as lucky. I noticed on the account they had all positive feedback but only from purchasing items. No feedback at all from selling items which was a bit strange. And upon looking at all the items they sold they all had the same description which was " a few light scratches" and the exact same link to the Nintendo.. sorry for a long description but I feel I may have missed a bullet on a scam and I just hope someone can sort this out.

change your passwords straight away,

you should never click on links within a listing

Yehh i know it was very stupid of me to click the link and sign in, and I
have changed my password and added another way of verification to both my
Gmail and eBay, but I'm worried about other people who may do the same. And
like I said it doesn't help the account has a lot of positive feedback and
is a old account which leaves you to believe they are a trustworthy seller.

Here is a link to the seller! Which I promise you is not dodgy! 😉 You can see all the items which are listed on his profile have the same description and the exact same link. Which I find rather strange, along with the only photo of the item being a standard photo from an online retailer.
