I sold my car to a German buyer in Feb. I went to the bank to discuss the transfer. The operations manager said she would have the deposit sent to a PayPal account. That's what I did. The buyer was coming to the states to pick up more cars and look at yet even more, so I waited for the balance to be delivered in cash, in person, at the same bank. They counted the money with a scanner and deposited it in my account.

The manager simply said that if I give my account info out, that it could be risky. She knew what I was doing when I asked about the 2nd account for a transfer only purpose. She just said, "We really don't like to do that (for obvious reasons.)." Since I bank at a smaller local bank with the strongest asset to liability ratio in the state and appreciate the service I get, I complied.
