I recently bought an item on eBay. I received an email through eBay that my item had shipped.

I also received an email directly from this seller to my mail application. My question: how did the seller obtain my email address, through eBay, PayPal?

The billing information the seller receives includes your (real) name, your address, your email address  your company name (if any), your eBay ID and quite often your telephone number.

 

Most of this is needed for shipping labels.

 

If you look at the bill you got, you should have most of the same information about the seller.
