Can the seller ship the item to any address from my address book? | Shipping

Hello, I’m currently facing a mystery: my mother (who lives in City A) called me a few days ago to say I had received a package. I live in City B, and I do sometimes have shipments (usually ones from abroad) sent to my parents’ address, but my Ebay account is registered to my address in B, and when I’m in B, I of course have purchases sent to B. For this, during checkout when paying, I enter the address where I want the shipment to go (street address, parcel shop, etc.). I did that in this case too. Address in checkout in B, address in the purchase confirmation email from Ebay to me in B, seller ships to A and claims that “in the printout from Ebay” (what does he mean?) the address in A was shown. I very much doubt that, especially since this wasn’t the only purchase recently, and if that were so, all the other sellers would then also have had to receive the address in A. But they all shipped to B as requested in checkout. Does Ebay always transmit the buyer’s entire address book to sellers?
