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.
