Have you tested for Spyware / Malware?

Run CCleaner and Malware Bytes.

Also when you experience these issues (you say this happens on 2 laptops from what I read) you have seen both events happening. Are you going directly to these websites using a email link, a bookmark, or direct entry into the URL bar by typing the actual web address?

Normally things like this indicate that your browser is warning you that a SSL certificate is not right on a site, or the site you think YOU are going to is not actually the Ebay site at all.

If the mouse is moving as you said, it means someone has access to your system. Either with your permission or not.

I think you should reformat or reinstall the operating system, change the password to your network, pc or upgrade your network router.

Or they may have just moved their hand across the mousepad and thought it was possessed! But if the original OP reads this thread again they might be able to enlighten everyone...
