You should always send to the PayPal address and it's something you should enforce because if you don't send to that address, you lose your seller protection. Some buyers will change the address during checkout to a different address than their eBay registered address, for many reasons. That is always the address you should look at.
If the buyer sends a message after payment requesting it be sent to a different address, then you shouldn't do it. If they are insistant, cancel the transaction and get them to go through check out again and put in the correct address.

Because the seller's location is Australia then the transaction will be aust.dollars, but there will be higher fees for the card holder for the currency exchange. I think the seller might get slugged international transaction fees too but I'd have to check.
International transaction fees are charged to the cardholder but it is at the discretion of the bank concerned.
Most Australian banks slug their customers, but not sure of overseas banking rules.

And how is that going to work if everyone takes that advice and are selling the same things?
All the advice on the boards is to find something that will fill a niche market, not find the cheap items that everyone else is selling.

Thanks! You are right. This was verified earlier with my seller.
I believe an exchange fee will incur as well, I had $63 AUD fee from a $699 USD purchase on Kickstarter. I will take that into consideration!

The easiest way IMO woud be for your overseas relative to open up a Paypal account then they could send you a personal payment to your Paypal account that you can use to pay for anything you want.
Set your Australian account up to accept the overseas currency then although you would still have to pay a conversion fee there woukd be no other Paypal fees as it would be a personal payment and a buyer payment.

I can see you look new. It would have been better to start a new topic of your own.
But here goes.
I cannot see any completed sale on ebay with that number, maybe some other boardie will manage to track it down.
If you are new then most likely you have not made many ebay purchases. You certainly would not forget a $145 purchase.
How, exactly, did you find out about this bill? Was it in email or phone text? If so, it could be a scam, if you are being asked to pay it.
A genuine purchase would be in the 'My ebay section" of your ebay account. You would be able to see what you purchased.
If the $226 has appeared on one of your bank statements as a deduction, you may need to contact the bank about an unautorised transaction.
You could also contact ebay help, not via message or email but via live chat. They will be able to tell you of any genuine purchases made under your account name.
