I already feel like this is a stupid question and I should know better but...
I purchased a bike on eBay, collected face to face. Once I got home and took everything apart, I noticed the stem was cracked probably from over-tightening of the bolts. The seller has offered me a partial refund, but has asked:
Normally I would consider this fairly dodgy. The only reason why I am giving them the benefit of the doubt is they were an older person and really didn't seem to know how eBay worked with regards to buying/selling (they were expecting me to rock up with cash and I had to show them via the app that the money would be transferred directly into the account after collection etc...).
Would I be asking for trouble if I handed over my bank details. Even for an account I rarely used and don't store money in?
