ebay has emailed me about a change of username

Ebay has emailed me advise of a change of username, but  I have not requested this.  My account still shows my usual username.  I have changed the password and have 2 step verification in place.  The emails advise that my email address ends with gmail.com but I have used googlemail.com for many years.   The new username is vastly different also.

I have no idea what has happened and I would appreciate advice on how to delete this from my account.  I only have one account.  Thank you

Thank you for replying so quickly.  I did log in via Google a few days ago.  I've had another email today welcoming me as Miguel with suggestions for purchases.  Do I just ignore these or is there a way to request the deletion.  It also says I cannot change the username for 30 days, but at least my regular username  is on my account.  There is no sign of a 2nd username but would this be because it is using a gmail address rather than googlemail one?  

 

thank you

Have you logged in via Google recently?   That can sometimes creat a new account but not change the name of an existing one.

The gmail accout would be a new one through Google, it's their default email.    You can just leave it unused or here is info about closing it:
