a bank transfer question

I haven't been asked to do this before but buyer wants to pay this way and has asked for name of my bank and account number but they are in spain.....is this firstly safe, as they can easily get my other details through ebay and secondly will it be Euros as that is no good to me....thanks in advance

    It's safe. They NEED to pay in euros and select shared charges... if they pay in sterling there will be charges to pay.

    You need to supply your IBAN / BIC no. / account number, that should cover it.

    IBAN - international banking somethingorother

    If you ask your bank they can tell you what they are... or they might be on your statement.

    You won't get euros.
