Sorry I cannot get back to you with my payment details or shipping address .. my hotmail account has gone cold again. At least it's not eBay's fault!

I wouldn't use Hotmail being down as an excuse, not with all the web based email providers there are.
Yahoo, Mailops, AW, etc.
Just make sure and explain why you are not using the email that is registered with your eBay account and that they shouldn't try and contact you via Hotmail right now. It might make a seller or two nervous, but it is easy to verify if they choose to do so.

I agree, that's not a very good reason for not getting in touch with your seller. If a seller emails you to your Hotmail account and it gets bounced back to the seller as undeliverable, they can forward that to SafeHarbor and if SafeHarbor is unable to contact you they will NARU you immediately. If you are having such problems with Hotmail maybe you should change your ebay email address to one that is more reliable. JMO
