Paying for something without paypal?

So I've won something on German eBay that I've been looking for for a while.

The seller doesn't except paypal but has sent me all the details needed to do a bank transfer...

Basically what do I need to take to my back to send him the money? Is it just a case of taking my bank card or what?

Help needed pretty please.

might not be but it sounds abit suspect...no real reason he shouldnt accept paypal ??thought nearly everyone did ??never done it by any other way..paypal seems the most secure...dont meen to put you off though..sure someone on here has paid that way ??

You'll find if you look through items on German eBay, alot of sellers don't accept paypal...I think bank to bank transfers are there way of doing things.

It's your risk mate! But I'd say even a bank transfer you can prove to eBay if it does go tits up? Would personally send it and hope for the best!!

I don't online bank, never personally liked the idea of it.

I just need to know what I need to take to the bank other than his details.

i wld think thats all u need, u know yr pin so that's all the bank needs as proof it's yr account

i only ever go to the bank now if i have cash to put in, do all my banking from my chair :GRIN:

I wouldn't normally buy something if it ment I couldn't use paypal, but I found a set of Bentley GT wheels from a Minichamps model and thought I may swell have a punt and ended up winning them.

I can't think of anything else I'd need tbh, just don't want to turn up at the bank and get turned away cause I don't have what I need.

i done this about a year ago just take all the details he gave you an your bank will have a form to fill in.
its easy but i did have to pay a charge for doing it.

as stated above , there will be a charge , my bank wanted 25 quid to send a transfere for an item that cost 15 quid.
to be honest i dont like bank transfers as a form of payment , got stung a few years back using this method and contrary to popular belief you dont have a leg to stand on with ebay if things go wrong as it is not an ebay recomended form of paying for an item .
although i know people who have used this method without problems for me paypal is the only way to pay .
can not think of one good reason not to have paypal as a payment method other than the fact they dont want to pay the fees paypal charge , although i garentee the seller will have a paypal account .
i have had this before too but when i offered to cover the fees they took the paypal payment no problem .
make an offer to cover the fees and i am sure they will accomodate you .

I like that idea Steve.

I went to the bank today and the charge was £9 for the transfer, but the payment couldn't be sent because I didn't have all the details...will go back tomorrow and if it can't be sorted then then I will try your method.
