Best. eBay. Message. Ever.

[valis2]

Hello, I was the winner of the item : [blah blah blah video game title] for $6.00 and I'm going to pay you the item and the shipping. ABout the method to pay, I live in [town name], Alabama, so the best way for me is to pay you by a bank account, I just need your account numbers of different banks and I'll send you the money and after you get it, you send the GAME to my address. If you know another way tell me please. Thank you.

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!

He doesn't seriously think I'm going to send him my bank account numbers, does he?

Ummm... ok... *laughs* That's the normal way it's done over here in Germany. I saved my bank account number and bank ident in ebay and people who buy from me make a bank transfer. Once I see the money in my account I send out the item.

I know there is paypal, and cheques and all, but this is the safest way for the seller to get the money before sending the item. Paypal is costly if you only sell a couple of items per year. Giving someone my account number doesn't mean they can deduce from that account. They can only add. So... see a stupid European stare at you in disbelief... How do you do bank transfers in your neck of the woods? *goggles*
