woodpecker 0 #1 February 16, 2008 Has anyone ever sold anything and just had the buyer wire the money into your account? Are there and Conns to this? I'm guessing all I'll need to do is give my acct and routing number, but can anything 'shady' happen when someone has this info?

iluvtofly 0 #3 February 17, 2008 IMHO I would bee weary about giving someone my routing and account number. I would be concerned someone would take what little money I have. But that's just me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've had money wired to my personal account. I also work at a University and I have clients wire money for payments ALL the time. If you're worried about it, talk to your bank and ask them about how it works.'Shell Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

woodpecker 0 #6 February 17, 2008 Never even thought about the checks having the same info on them....been so long since I've actually seen/wrote one. Thanks all for the replies/help.

shropshire 0 #8 February 17, 2008 I just sent money by Bank Transfer to Switzerland (No cheques involved) and it all went through without a hitch (they -the banks - do this all day long). The only shady thing, is that the bank makes loads of money from what is a simple process. (.)Y(.)

kirrz 0 #9 February 17, 2008 Do it all the time. In Australia it's the standard way to pay for things... when you buy stuff from e-bay and check out, you have the person's bank details displayed and you just put the money in. Have done it lots of times during international transactions too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
