I have sold an item on ebay, and the buyer would like to send the money to me via bank transfer rather than personal cheque, i wont take paypal, due to fees and it not being safe enough, what im wanting to know is if its safe to let someone send me money this way, and what details i should have to give out. need to know asap so i can let the buyer know.

 

m8 its safe all he needs is sort code account number and name of bank
he/she can only pay money in cant do anything else

 

hi, again. Is it possible for the buyer to reverse payment/claim that the account was stolen etc as this is my only bank account and if this happened i would be royally screwed.

Dougie.

 

that i dont know m8 someone else on here might thoe

 

Cheers for the quick answer

 

its 100% mate, quicker/easier for you too

 

so there is definitly 100% no way i can get stung by a fraudster? as its alot of money to me Ł220

 

If your really paranoid open a card cash account or similar non credit account for a Ł1 and use that for ebay stuff and don't keep any money in it.

 

ive just transferred money via bank transfer, its safe afaik, and you dont get charged, they cant withdraw anything from your account and you have their account details anyway so its the same from both end!

 

Safest thing to do imo.
In The Netherlands we do this alot,whe rarely use cheques,out of date.

Bank Transfer is safe and easy
