How did seller get my email address??

I bought through Ebay. Did not leave Ebay. Asked a question to seller through Ebay messaging, he responded through Ebay messages.. But I also received 3 emails confirming my purchases to my personal email account directly from the seller. I did not respond. These were in my junk folder. I received the proper Ebay confirmations as well, like always.
So how did seller get my personal email??

Edit: And those emails were in my junk folder BEFORE I sent any correspondence at all. They arrived right after purchase of first lot. I then decided to buy a couple more things and messaged seller to alert to group items.

The seller has buyer address and email contact informatio...

 

The seller has buyer address and email contact information available from your first purchase. Before a purchase is made, no contact info (except through eBay's mail system) is seen by the seller.

 

Some people set up and use a different email for making purchases.

OK. This was the first time we ever got direct contact from any seller not in Ebay messaging.
Thanks
