Replying to email from ebay members?

Just had an email from another member and the options were to respond via ebay (it opens a page and takes you to your email account) or reply.

I did reply but does that then send the email to the other person directly showing your email address? Or does it go via ebay first and they just get a false email?

Its just I'm a bit careful about throwing my email address around....

    The safer option is to log into Ebay and go to 'my messages' and click the respond button through that.
  • I prefer to do it through eBay so that:

    (A) the customer doesn't get my email address.
    (B) there is a record there for eBay to refer to should there be any problems up the line.
