eBay tells you to NEVER NEVER NEVER give out any account information!!!!!!!!! It's a scam. If they can't do paypal, they can't safely buy your product. Never give anyone any of your information. Since I believe you may have done this before. For your security, go and change all your online passwords, just in case. All your emails and bank, everything! Not doing so may set you up for identity theft. believe me I see it way to often.

Reply:MAYBE... ur acount number n sort code should be fine but u know ebay is full of a bunch of twats that do froude, so be carefull be warned, btw waa is it that ur sellin usless its a hart then im sure they can wait!
Reply:no! dont give your information to anyone! i have had alot of problems with that! once someone messes with it, its really hard and time consuming to get it right again. i just wouldnt do it...have them just send you a check or something! for real its not safe to give out that info.:)
Reply:no dont do it. if they need it that urgent get them to send cash or postal order by recorded delivery
Reply:No, if they cannot pay using Pay pal or Visa via E-bay the safest options are Cash if they can collect item, cheque (wait 'till cleared to send the item) or postal order. There are genuine people out there but how can you tell, I would not take the risk.
Reply:nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo !!!!!!
Reply:It should be ok - they won;t know anyother details needed to access the account, but I'd keep an eye on your account for a while afterwards, just in case
Reply:NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO


Never this is a common scam on eBay, have them send a cheque or money order and waite for it to clear before you send the item..

Reply:Um, no? Is it safe to give out your bank account information so people can put money in? NO! Cmon think a little.
Reply:Never gvie out your bank details online.
Reply:No not really! Get them to send you a cheque or a postal order!
Reply:NO. although you may think that it is JUST your name and account #, you don't know how clever theives are. you may not be able to do anything with it, but they sure can.
Reply:I wouldn't give out my account number, just to be safe. I would have them pay with a cashiers check or money order.
Reply:In a word, NO. Be suspicious of anyone who asks. They should not, or need not know taht information. Its a scam.
Reply:No, I wouldnt do this. You could ask for a cheque or postal order, a postal order wouldnt need to clear you can cash it straight away.





I wouldn't give details like that to a stranger.
