Strange "Reply to:" address appearing on sent emails

Recently, a couple of my sent emails have "Reply to:" followed by a very long email address that has nothing to do with me under the name of the sender. It only appears on some emails, and I see it when I go back and look at them in my sent file. When I exit the sent folder and then go back to look at the email again, the "Reply to:" line has disappeared. The end of this strange email address includes the name of a website I get emails from daily, but with "e." after the @ and before the company name. My software is up to date. What is this, and how can I get it to go away? Thanks.

Same thing here for maybe a week or so. A familiar “Reply To” address is added to emails that have nothing to do with the sender.

I might have thought that, but after decades of never having seen such a thing, they are coming from two different people, friends not businesses, and the company at the end of the reply to string is an auction service that they would have no idea even existed, so I think the emails are being tagged from my end. I know and have an account with that particular auction service.
