Ebay 'distance from' box shows a different postcode - has my account been hacked?

The Ebay box for selecting the item location, which gives a choice of distances from a selected postcode, is showing a postcode that isn't mine and no one I know would have entered. This is the second time I've seen this postcode, the first time some months ago. Does this mean my account is being hacked, or is it just a quirk of the system? I realise that any postcode can be entered in the box, but I don't see how it is showing this one, as it is not mine or any of the family's. It is only three miles or so from my own postcode though.
