Delivery address changed in my ebay

Really confused, I've just done a search based on 'nearest first' and found items nowhere near me, so checked my address, and for the delivery address it's got my cousin's name and address.

Now I don't believe I've ever put her address into my ebay account. Any idea why this would suddenly happen?

I've been using the ebay app the last few months... when I check on a computer it gives my address as primary but her address is there aswell. Am I just going crazy?

I'm going to go on live chat and ask them if they can see what's happened, but just thought I would ask here if anyone has had anything like this happen please?

    Since eBay could not possibly have known your cousins address it is more likely you have added it at some point in the past and forgotten about it, or else your cousin has done it as a joke if you have left your device without a password.
