How big of a no-no is it to call the ebay buyer of my coin to see if he wants to buy a second one outside ebay? Obviously for less, since I avoid the fees this way.

I'm asking for a standpoint of ebay rules, not ethics in case anyone is doubtful  ;)

Highly against eBay rules. That being said, I've done it multiple times as a buyer. Just don't supply an email address (in email address format) in the message, it'll be blocked. There are those that put up an item, and then contact the bidders to offer it to them outside of eBay.
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

EBay can throw you out if they caught you doing this (although I did it as well)  most buyers (including me)  would not be ready to do it because they'd  loose eBay buyer protection which is incredibly
 good.

When they pay for the 1st coin, their email is given in the email ebay sends you.  You can use that to contact them outside ebay.

You can also eBay message them, and give your email, just not in email format (ex davidsmith (@) ddf.org instead of davidsmith@ddf.org ). The system automatically blocks email addresses from being sent, and i think it may flag the attempted message.

You should've opened up a Basic eBay store.
