AARGH!!! fuck!
I received an E-mail that stated that some of my information was wrong in my E-bay account and that I should click this helpful button and go to the E-bay security center to fill the correct information in. The page looked good, but I got suspicious when they asked my name, my ebay password, my paypal password, my cred card number and a whole lot of things. I checked the url:
http://jedi.org.ua/imho/
The fucking page was a fake! And I had already written my ebay and paypal passwords in it, though I havent send it or anything.
I informed ebay about the page.
I changed my ebay and paypal passwords as soon as I could.
Still. I fell kinda insecure. Paypal is a straight line to my visa card. fucking shit!

the most important thing to look for is both ebay and paypal will address you by your full name. they also will not have links. they will tell you go go to your account through the webpage (paypal.com or ebay.com)
just a little FYI

So now I have learned my lesson.
