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.

Stranger cannot do something with your account number until knowing your password. For those who purchase something through your cheque, then your account quantity proven everybody in that situation. If any one hack your account without furnish your password, then financial institution will liable for that. However quandary is.. Any person can transfer cash(credit) to your account. If so contact along with your bank or police immediately. Do not think that it is a miracle.

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.

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..
I don't do paypal but I would not expect anyone to give me their details, and am happy to waite for cheques to clear if I really want something

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.

I wouldn't give out my account number, just to be safe. I would have them pay with a cashiers check or money order.

In a word, NO. Be suspicious of anyone who asks. They should not, or need not know taht information. Its a scam.
