[AUS] Very confused - possible ebay seller email hijack scam?

I realised that for anything I order online, I am receiving tracking emails for the various couriers via an eBay seller's email.

The email is basically titled ebay • [sellers name] then the email is a string of numbers and letters @ members.ebay.com.

I'm worried as I realise that this goes back about three years, and it was from a seller I bought a cheap item from, and can track it happening from there.

The wierd thing is, there are no phishing links or anything wierd about the actual body of the emails. I re I've them immediately after I order an item online with my invoice, and tracking information, but it's coming from this ebay email and not the seller.

I have searched on here and haven't been able to find anything that sounds similar.

So I'm not sure if this is something malicious or a wierd glitch with my email, I am not sure how an ebay email is sending me all my tracking info.

I would appreciate any help understanding if there's a scam angle to this.
