its normal that ebay will take bank info for seller fees they charge
best advice I would give thouigh is if you have any doubt DONT DO IT
you can pay on to ebay with bank/credit card (or you used to be able to) like a pay as you go phone to pay listing fees

yeah same here
a couple of time have used my bank info to get payments from overseas buyers.
I spoke to bank first and they said that basicly if all you give is
(1) sort code
(2)account number
(3)branch address
its nothing more than will apear on a normal bank cheque anyway and you give those to stangers everytime you make a cheque payment
