Are you sure those are from eBay, I never get anything from eBay unless I 
buy something. Try reporting them and if they are from eBay or PayPal 
Spamcop will say so (you can cancel if it looks legit). It very well may be 
"phishing" spam, as I get those among the dictionary attacks to a new 
address that eBay don't have.

Don't be fooled, read the headers, if in doubt, report it. Though I agree 
that someone certainly could have had it before, but don't assume those are 
legit, or change your address.
