Was Ebay hacked 3/26-3/27/23? Refunded with no questions

Here is an oddity: I have an Ebay sale of a $600 Lego item on 3/26/23 . 3/27/23 I use UPS label to send the parcel to Glendale Heights, Illinois, without being specific it's an industrial park with a real name and "care of" business address. 3/28/23 customer messages saying he got a refund and the parcel couldn't be sent internationally. I also get a refund message from Ebay saying there was a problem and both buyer and seller were refunded. I check the UPS tracking number. It was delivered, only problem is, that's not the buyer's address. During messaging buyer tells me he is Canadian with a Canadian address. Ebay gave for the shipping label an address domestically in Glendale Height, Illinois, to what appears to be a warehouse beauty products distributor. So buyer is real, but the address Ebay gave for the UPS label is not buyer's address and Ebay refunded both buyer and seller before either of us knew what happened. Do you think Ebay was hacked? I think Ebay knows what happened but there are no live reps anymore to ask and none at the UPS phone number either. There are a few weird things about the label created. It had an "EVTN: QSQ9V68" under the "c/o buyer's name". It also had a phone for the buyer as 1-866-540-3229, so I looked it up and it's an Ebay ph number (which offers no support only online referral but nonetheless is an Ebay ph number). Anyone else have a similar issue on this date or previously? It doesn't look like an account hack because the buyer is real and really ordered the item, but I think it's an Ebay hack. Could it be a computer error from Ebay? Does anyone know if there is a legit Ebay presence in Glendale Heights, Illinois? It is just weird. Another detail I just noticed. The "Ship your order" page doesn't mention anywhere that this is an Ebay International Shipping Program order, it only gives the Glendale Heights, Il address which to my knowledge is not the address for the Ebay Intl Shipping Program, that's in Kentucky I thought. However, when I go to the "Order Details" page it does say it's in the Ebay Intl Shipping Program and it does show the buyer's town and Canada but not name or street address but still gives the Glendale Heights address as ship to addy. Looks like an Ebay error or a hack, idk.
