Was eBay hacked and lost customers passwords and ect?          Got a email that said so.

Yours is the first I’ve heard. 

Look in your actual email account, not your eBay messages.

eBay emails will be addressed to you and not your eBay user name. 

Do not click on any link in that message. Do not give your credit card number. Do not buy ANY gift cards.

And that email was from . . .?

Was it your account that was hacked and not Ebay?

If that were true it would be major news around the world, not one email to you. Be smart.

What, exactly, did the email say?

Did the email ask you do do anything specific?

I would certainly distrust any email that asked you to follow a blind link -- particularly if that link leads to a sign-in page of any kind. Scammers often copy or create legitimate-looking messages, complete with logos and even other actual links, but often include a link that if followed may allow the scammer to collect your credentials via a realistic looking but fake sign-in page.
