I always suggest that my buyers use the PayPal and Billpoint instant payment buttons located on my auction pages. Well, one buyer emailed me back and said "I NEED YOUR EXACT PAYPAL ACCOUNT/ADDRESS SO THAT I MAY PAY BY THAT METHOD. YOU ARE AWARE THAT E BAY NO LONGER PERMITS WINNING BIDDERS TO GO THROUGH THEIR E BAY PAGES TO ACCESS PAYPAL."

I got an "instant payment" on the 25th. I guess the only way to get that is have the 'paypal' in your listing clicked.

Your buyer is confused but I wouldn't argue with him/her, just give them your PayPal account's email address if that's how they want to do it. All roads lead to Rome.
Here's eBay's position:
The eBay Item page can contain no URLs or links to, or promotional information about, any off eBay web page, including web sites of the seller or any third party.
There are 2 exceptions to this general rule - the eBay item page may contain a link to information related specifically to that item that:
Gives acknowledgement to a company that provided services related to that listing (such as counters, auction management tools, or payment and mediation services). This acknowledgement may contain both a logo (88x33 pixels) and up to 10 words of text (HTML font size 3) but only one of those may be clickable.
Points interested buyers to another Internet page that contains only more information (such as pictures, product specifications or detailed terms and conditions) about eBay items listed by that seller.

I recently discovered the PayPal "Pay Now" button did not work with a "Personal Offer." I have also read it may not work properly with the new "Fixed Price" format.
