Thank God for insomnia as it's 5am here and I just got an email saying my password was changed and sure enough it was, I have just changed my password, security questions and changed my personal information back to what i was (they changed my Country to China and my postcode). Luckily I was awake so I managed to do this before they bought or sold anything using my account but obviously I'm still worried, I have no idea how this happened as I use a long, strong password with letters and numbers and no one else has access to my PC.

I'm now installing Malwarebytes to run a full scan, is there anything else I should be doing now?

EDIT: And now my Ubisoft account has had an authenticator added to it, and someone keeps trying to hack my Twitter but it has 2 step. I've ran the full scan and it was clear so I'm not sure what's going on here, I have a different password for email, major and minor sites and they're not simple. I'm not sure how someone can add an authenticator to my Ubi account without my email. The funny thing is I can still log in, so they didn't changed anything I just can't do anything myself.
 
I am trying to find if eBay does have it, my original post was supposed to be a question.

If they do I can't find it. I just added 2FA to Amazon and Paypal, though. PSN is already done and I'm trying to think if there are any other big sites I may have missed.

Did you share passwords/usernames between these accounts?

Possibly, my email password is unique but I do have a few passwords I reuse for stuff like this.
 
If you could log back into eBay after your password was changed. Are you sure you didn't log into a phishing webpage???

I never click any links from emails, I always go to the website directly.
