The excuse about email for keeping communications archived will beat ebay probs and is convincing to buyers that express a concern about the email instead of ebay chain. If ebay snoops the internal message, the request to move over to email does look legit and they won't jump on your butt. If you tell buyer to go over to email so you can give alternate payment instructions, ebay sees it, yer busted. So never say in ebay message that you want anything other than switch to email for recordkeeping.
