Paypal has sent a payment to an email address which is different from the one listed on the invoice

I have just made a payment to a vendor on ebay for an item.  When I received confirmation from Paypal the email adress of the vendor is very different from the one which is listed on ebay.  I am worried that the payment is going to the wrong person?  Is this normal?

Did you submit the payment through eBay's system, or did you send a payment directly somehow? If you used their system it should be fine. People often use different email addresses between eBay and PayPal.

It was all done through ebay and I have never had a problem before with the payment link to Paypal so it might be OK.  So far so good.  I have just never had this kind of hiccup before and seen two different emails on receipts etc.  Thanks for the feedback and the reassurance.  I will keep a close eye on it.
