safe??? you are dreaming....with those details you can be signed up for direct debits, donations,hire purchase etc etc by anyone who fancies having a bit of fun at your expense.

Oh dear, another stupid idiot.
Your bank account, sort code and your name are on every cheque you write

...yet I bet you've had no reservations about sending cheques in the post or paying by cheque to total strangers.

And despite those details being on every cheque everyone has written, there aren't massive amounts of people being signed up for direct debits, donations and HP etc without their knowledge.


To the OP and other sellers who still bother looking up a buyers feedback....
ALL BUYERS HAVE 100% FEEDBACK AS A BUYER BECAUSE SELLERS CAN NO LONGER LEAVE A NEUTRAL OR NEGATVE.

They might as well get shut of the feedback system altogether for buyers. I no longer bother looking - a zero rated bidder is no more or less likely to be a problem as someone with 100's of 100% positive.

You are right although I always look at the buyers feedback left for others, which can give an early warning of trouble makers. Not foolproof though.
