Probably not now that there's a transaction between them.
@CasualLime it should be possible for the seller to offer a partial refund (I just did this for postage for someone that bought two items from me) but understand that your seller may not be able to figure this out on ebay. There might be a possibility for you to request a partial refund which they'd just have to accept. Otherwise, I don't think there's much someone can do with your bank deets.

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?
