Bank details

[theboyfold]

Just sold something on a forum to another club member and would rather not use Paypal as the fees will be quite high. Is there any danger in sending them my account number and sort code? Or is there another way of doing this?

Nope, no danger, they can only deposit funds with that information.

Best not to give out your password as well.

POssibly being a bit niave here, but I don't understand the reluctance to give out bank details? After all, every check you issue has them printed on and a lot of companies print them on their invoices!

Fair enough, just like to try and be safe, wasn't sure if there was any danger or risk in doing it. It's a good point about the details being on a cheque, I didn't think of that one.
