I, mysteriously, had strange address added to my eBay account. I live in the UK.
I'm changing my password. Has anyone else had a similar experience?
Almost certainly hacked. Check your Paypal addresses too and search "account hacked" in "help and contact" above.
You need to edit your post and remove that name & address since naming & shaming is against the board rules.

Report to eBay that your someone as used your account (use help & contact to do that)
Change all your passwords (eBay, paypal + possibly email)
Contact your bank
Update your computer security (Unsecured devices are an invitation to hackers)
Check all your eBay and Paypal details

Accounts can often be hacked by an email pretending to be from somebody its not. If you click a link in these emails, hackers can gain access to your information. Best just to check any messages on the site in question.
Also, when using any site that requires you to log in, Don't Use public Wi-fi
