Is it in your actual ebay (or Paypal) messages
If it is not, it is a scam
If it is not, and if you have clicked on links, you're going to need to change all your passwords etc and report it to ebay and paypal
Just clicking on the links does not automatically give away any of your account details etc.
What it does do is to tell the scammers that they have scored an active email address since they can tell you have clicked on a link in the email. Now you can expect to be bombarded I would suspect since they will know your light is on.
However, if you do not have active anti-virus software installed then wherever the link took you could auto-download some malicious software onto your local computer. If that is a keystroke logger then anytime you log into anywhere they will be able to gather your passwords etc. NEVER click on links in emails unless you are 110% sure you know where it has come from.
If you do not have some kind of malware/virus detection software installed I would get it pronto and run a full virus and malware scan to be safe here.
To be safe tho, you should change passwords regularly anyway.
