Default Online bank transfer, is it safe?

Now, i know it's fine and 100% safe but i sold something on ebay and the chap who won the item is from the netherlands. He wants the item asap so wants to do a bank transfer. I said ok and sent my account number, sort code & account name.
He's replied saying he wants the name and city of the bank, which i sent him, now he's sent this;

Can you give me the name and the city of your bank? If I have this information I can transfer it immediately

Otherwise a BIC or IBAN code would be great!
Soooo i'm assuming he hasn't got my last email in which i said the bank name & city, but whats a BIC or IBAN code?

Or is he upto something else? when i've transfered money i've only need sort code, account number & account name, or is it different cos he's from the netherlands?

any advice?
