nope don't do it make a paypal and tell them to pay it into that

@Drew I have PayPal, how do I get someone to pay into it?

they will have to make an account aswell to send it but it's a safer way cause i've had them kind of bank transfer people before and ended up being a scam!!!

PayPal always then you're protected

You just send them your PayPal email x

Been scammed😂 so luckily I asked on here as I was unsure about sending bank details! I sent my email and they faked sending me £150 obviously we’re gonna start asking for it back! Thankfully I realised and blocked and reported this person😱 thanks for the advice! Xx

You've prob lost that , sorry you're going through this, isn't a laughing matter just a learning curve xx

@Ruth I don’t have it missing from my account? Do you mean he can take money just using my email from PayPal? Xx

No! As already mentioned use PayPal. You just gone then your email address and if you're a PayPal user it will go straight into your account x

Oh sorry I read it wrong. Thought you meant you had already lost money. Xx

Never give bank details to a stranger

@Ruth no, thankfully not! Xx

Yeah everytime i sell somthing on facebook i say cash only as i always get 3-5 people trying to scam me everytime i try to sell on facebook xx

I use vinted so then you’re also protected in case it goes missing in the post too

@Lauren it’s so annoying isn’t it! I’ve had 3 with this listing so far! The first one was really believable too x
