Have I compromised my wallet?

I'm a vendor on a couple of markets, and I make a consistent practice of tumbling my coins between market and my electrum wallet. Unfortunately on the latest occasion I had a moment and forgot to do so, sending them straight from market to electrum.

Has this compromised my electrum wallet? I know electrum utilizes different receiving addresses and I had never sent any BTC to that particular address previously, but is the transaction still able to be linked to the rest of my transactions/wallet via the blockchain? If so I'll generate a new seed and start again, we all know how Ross' Gmail address came back to bite him all that time later - only takes one slip up!

your probably ok, but you can transfer your btc to another one that electrum gives youe], then burn your current, if your really paranoid.

Your wallet is not compromised, but I would suggest using a new bitcoin address.

Thanks all, appreciate the assistance. Just to be safe I might just kick up a new one, will be a shame to have to re-tumble all my coins into it but a small fee is always worth the anonymity.

It's best practice to have at least one dirty wallet and one clean wallet. Always withdraw to your dirty wallet, then choose how to obfuscate the trail to your clean wallet. This way even if your tumbler is down you can still take the coins off site asap.
