You have the actual email address of any buyer that paid by PayPal, and that may be your best avenue of communication, that being completely outside of the eBay realm.
If one really stops to think about it, WHY would one think that avenue is 'completely outside of the ebay realm'?
When I use my personal email account to send a message to another persons personal email account I would not expect eBay, or anyone but the internet provider to know it was sent.
Not that I communicate that way with buyers.
Ya know, I agree with you, 100%. However, I've read WHAT ebay puts in their TOS and HOW they put it.
'Sides, it wouldn't be 'ebay'' doing anything, just some 'bot' monitoring to prevent 'wrong-doing' and to protect the users and ebay.
And, 'bots aren't 'anyone' - people - dontcha know.
So, this explains a lot
eBay IT's are so busy setting up parameters for the eBay bots to monitor the personal emails accounts not associated with eBay for their millions of users, along with falsely flagging/warning them unjustly for actual positive eBay messaging communications that they do not have time to monitor/control/correct the issues that they should be dealing with.
Contact information in listings.
Duplicate listings. Those where the same item is spamming up the search by changing/moving one word in the title.
Sellers with no product, stealing listing photos/text, offering new items at 25% of value. Sure, we should know better, but someone always wants a bargain so much that it clouds their senses.
Scam buyers targeting unsuspecting newbies to steal their item with direct PayPal payment offerings, and false payment email notifications.
False snad's when the buyer does not read a description, and or look at the photos.
Buyers returning sand/rocks/garbage/their own broken item for a refund.
False reports of counterfeit item listings/listing counterfeit items. eBay states that they do not allow "fake" items to be listed, but millions of products are coming from China that are not genuine.
Mobile user glitches.
"best offer"/"make offer" where they can not seem to understand that the wording without a doubt does not make it "crystal clear" about shipping price negotiation. eBay thinks they know what they are saying, but it is obvious that it is not understood by all that read it. You even get posters here that say it is as clear as day, but we all know that one person sees navy, where another sees blue. Hello snad.
And, on, and on.................................
They are too busy:
adding undesired "make offer" to auctions that they "think" start too high.
adding IPR to listing $1000 and under causing buyers/sellers grief trying to checkout/combine shipping/wait to purchase more items within the time limits set up by the seller
making a new seller policy where they "may" auto relist an item that does not sell.
taking away available management tools in the "my eBay, all selleng" view in an effort to push everyone into the "new seller hub"
providing new sellers with a listing tool that automatically adds "make offer" to listings when they do not want offers .
telling new potential sellers ....... sell, ship, get paid.

The only thing it "explains" to me is that some folks have their tin-foil hats on a bit too tight. 
eBay has no access to my outside email account; they can only send messages to it. Who I choose to send email to from that account or any other is completely out of their view. Now please let's return to the real world here; there are plenty of other issues to worry about.

Having went back to your past threads, I have to wonder if its not the latter. If so, you need to decide whats more important, friends, or cash
I'm going for both. Why Not? I like both.

Then you need ton find a way to contact folks outside of ebay because you're already on the bots radar. Step careful or you wont be selling much longer
