Bank Transfers for vinyl-genuine question

[Kenb]

Apart from the obvious general answers...why do some sellers (UK to UK) ask for B/transfer on records under £300. 

It’s a genuine question, not a moan.

It is an easy way to pay for something that does not cost the buyer or seller anything. 

The problem I can see is, if you are not happy with what you have bought, you can't get your money back. Unless your bank will step in!

Hope this helps, or have I missed something here?

I was scammed on PayPal, so I use bank transfer it's easier for me

bank transfer is quick and easy to learn..just as easy as using paypal. i ask for bank transfer first as i hate paypal.. they are just parasites at the end of the day but will use it if pushed

BT is the only way I buy/sell records, it's quick, safe and easy to do.
