It's something that they added to "version 4" of their site.

I entered my zip+4 and I got 4 hits listing the odd numbered house address sequence on my street, which is a short dead end with about 6 or 7 houses on each side.

I entered another arbitrary seller's zip+4, it not only gave me his actual address, but showed a photo of a full front view of his house. That was when I decided to contact them.

The number represents an encoded routing sequence for any or all of a segment of a building, an entire building, section of a street, or an entire street.

The number can also be a part of a city block, or a section of a town. It all depends on the size of your town or city, and the number of homes in your neighborhood, whether you're in an apartment, mobile home park, incorporated neighborhood, suburb, or if your home is rural.

So, it all depends on these circumstances as to what, and how much will come up if you enter the zip+4 in a search.
