Hey, ive sold an item on egay to some twit in italy. I cant understand much he is saying in his messages but he is asking to pay by bank transfer. I only ever use paypal. Would a bank transfer be safe? What details would he need from me?

Thanks in advance

ye thats what im thinking. I did state in my listing that anyone outside the uk must email me before buying. But the pricks always just click 'buy it now'.
Thing is I could go down the route of not letting him buy it but tbh ive sold the item and want paying without having to re-list :wacko:

Just be like. I only accept PayPal from overseas buyers. If you had contacted me first you would have found this out!

I don't sell outside of the UK full stop. If someone was overseas though it would be PayPal and nothing else tbh. I wouldn't trust any other method.

for bank transfers you need your banks name, address, your account number and sort code.
Its pretty instant as well
