How safe is it to have money wired directly into your bank when selling a car?

Anyone done this? did it go smoothly? how long does it take to clear?

just a little paraniod with all the scams out now.

I did it. The money was wired right to my account from a guy in the UK. No problems.

I would probably run a search on here and see if there has been any feedback for the buyer first?

I think it is one of the best ways to do business. I have never had an issue with either wiring it to somebody's acct or somebody buying and wiring my acct. The money is ready right there and then......

It is extremely easy but remember once they have your account # they can withdraw or deposit. My banker set me up a "virtual" account and once the money was there she transferred it into my regular account. Just to be on the safe side.

That is not true. they can not withdraw from your acct with out the account password or number (in which event you dont have to give that to either deposit or wire money in an Account)

This is the safest way.

They cannot withdraw money, only deposit.

I always ask for the persons bank info first (if I don't know them), my bank will then verify the account before I give them my info. Have never had a problem except the person sending money lying about it being sent when they said. It does eventually show up, seems they try to buy some time being sending.
