    Yes, but I don't send cheques either, I use Paypal for both buying and selling so the 3rd party need never know my bank details !

    Thank you everyone for all of your help, I have now managed to set up a second account (it does seem strange being classed as a newbie again!).

    With regards to Paypal, I prefer it because it allows me to pay for my wins as soon as the auction closes and then, more often than not, I receive my items in a matter of days.
    I do not often sell items on ebay, but every buyer that I have had has paid with Paypal rather than the other options that I take (cheque/P.O) and I have therefore been able to post items to them straight away, meaning happy campers all round.

    I always use paypal for buying and selling. havent heard any bad reports about it? With bank transfer, dont you have to give a person your bank details, surely that is more dangerous ?

    Its not dangerous.

    PAYPAL is very useful, but I just refuse to pay eBay even more money in fees. (eBay own PAYPAL)

    You get no fees by using a bank transfer.
