how safe is bank transfer?

[Tricky Dicky]

i did a bank transfer once and simply put it was bollocks.

mainly because above the price i was paying for the item i got charged £12 for sending the cash and then the bank said that the number to the other guys account was wrong so i got charged a fee of £20 above that...

In the end i never paid the proper price of the item or bought it, but still shlled out on fees

i would say go with paypall, although if the bank is your only way, go ahead.

its your choice.

Bro got done for £xxx on a transfer when the seller never sent the item...

for sellers its brill, but unless i knew the guy very well i wouldnt send anything..

Paypal takes 3% yes but its instant into their paypal account and theres insurance

Bank transfers are entirely safe. But as people have said before, if it's someone on here chances are thery're traceable if they don't send it.

paypal only guarantees money which they can recover from the sellers paypal account.

If they don't have it, Paypal won't take it, which leaves you no better off to be honest.
