Been hacked on ebay

Got a message through on ebay today where someone was asking about an item and when would it be posted if he purchased today.

Went to log in, and realised I couldn't. Turns out my password and email had been changed, and I had been hacked. The hackers had sold two BBQ tables.

Spoken ebay who have advised they will deal with it, but is there anything else I need to do? I've changed my password and email on there.

How does a scam like this even work? What do the hackers get out of it? As the payment is on hold so not sure how they even get money out of it?

Find a spyware program and download it, run it and check all is clear then change passwords again.

If you using a phone that is all I can suggest, if you are using a laptop I might be more help. Spybot Search and Destroy is the one I use just for checking.

If I were you I would go and ask for help on the Ebay community forums.
