eye pieces are interchangeable and you will want a few of them for different magnifications.
The previous owner probably got a new scope and kept them for that.
Here's where I go for lens' in Toronto Canada.

The rule of thumb is cheaper eyepieces are ok for the low magnification 35mm-20mm but as you get to higher magnification a better eyepiece will make more of a difference. How expensive is up to you and how serious you are into this. I think my better lens was a used tele-vue for $80

My image is reversed... I am looking at the ocean
Astronomical telescopes usually show an upside down image. There is a good reason for this- erecting the image needs more bits of glass in the light path, which reduces the amount of light and increases aberrations. Even if this is only slight, astronomers prefer to avoid it, and they don't really care which way up the Moon or Jupiter appear.
It is possible to fit an erecting prism or eyepiece to most astronomical telescopes, and some of them come with one. One type of erector will make the image appear right way up, but still reversed from side to side. That seems to be what you are using. If you want to use the telescope for terrestrial viewing, you will need a fully erecting eyepiece, or a fully terrestrial telescope (these are often called "spotting scopes").

All astronomical telescopes show inverted images-- it's normal nothing is wrong with the telescope. No up or down in space!
