Put your email on the photo and sent the seller a message and attach the photo which is quite easy. Ask them to look at the photo you sent. That gets around the ebay censors. I knew someone who lost my business card, but I knew their ebay name. I sent them a note and they did just that. My business with them was not ebay related so this was just a means to an end.

Two things I've done:
1. A guy had a $1,000+ item, and our offers and counter offers were close, about $200 apart (which was about the ebay fee.) So I bought an inexpensive card he had listed, and from that I got his return address and contacted him. We made the deal on the more expensive item easily.
2. I live in a small town and my phone number is listed. So I'll send the seller a message through ebay and sign with my full name, city, and state. If the seller understands what I'm doing, he can easily look up my number.
