I've also just realised the email address that was sent to is not our eBay email address, but it is addressed to our eBay seller name. That email address is included in all listings, so does that mean some autobots have read the listings and picked up an address?  >:(

Probably yes. I'm not surprised that you're annoyed by it. Bots are a pest.
