More than likely through your email, without knowing you may well have opened up an email from the scum (pretending to be eBay) and bobs your uncle, there in. Well thats what happened to me  :sad1:
I now know, BIN EVERY EMAIL AND NEVER REPLY

+1. If you opened an email and clicked on a link, it would have taken to whatever website they wanted where they could look at your details. Very important not to do this.

Other options might be keylogging/spyware.
