Notifications for sales I never made…

Hello, hopefully I’ve put this in the correct place for help.

 

Last night I logged into eBay to just check how our current listings were doing. I noticed there were 28 notifications on the bell icon and when I clicked it there were tons of offers declined/cancelled, pay now, refunds and returns for all sorts of things I’ve never looked at or purchased like MacBooks and different phones. I clicked a couple of the notifications and nothing happened, additionally there was nothing in our summary page or emails about these bids and returns. I refreshed the page and they were gone… 

 

Could my account have been hacked? Was this a glitch? Why was I able to see the bids and purchases of someone else? Was my account being used as a proxy to hid these purchases for a scammer? 

 

I did change my password and have 2FA turned on. It’s just super strange and really freaked me out. Any guidance would be appreciated!

Thank you for tagging me and telling me, I tried finding stuff for a while on Google on different forums, YouTube, etc. I didn’t realized this happened to other users.
