When you print a label through Ebay or Paypal, you enter the address. Even if you hand write a label, the PO clerk enters the address into the system, to get the Zip+4 code and puts a tracking label on the package. The exact address the seller entered should be accessible to the PO by entering the tracking number into the computer. My old neighbor was a PostMaster and I'm sure he explained it that way.
The old scam of sending a similar weighted item to another address in same zip code doesn't work anymore.
