Ask your bank to help and have them set the account up for the one transaction as stated above. Otherwise, have DutchBoy have his bank contact your bank and do a bank to bank transaction which will be safer for you and only cost a few bucks.
Flyboyike, I have been meaning to ask, is that a canadair? C-FMLT does not come back as active. Does it exist?
The aicraft in the pic is one of the prototype CRJ200s. I believe it was sold to AC Jazz and now flies under a different tail #, which is why -FMLT is inactive.
Why you want to keep your bank account number as a secret?
If you want I post you mine,everybody your are writing checks every month has your account number,so what?
If he wires you the money from Holland he needs your number ,the only one who should be concerned, if at all ,is the buyer because he sends you the money upfront.
You can wire money into an account if you have the account number and routing number, but you can't take it out. I do transactions like that all the time.
If he asks for your Social Security No, its a scam.

During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.
Open a separate checking account just for this transaction. As soon as he pays you, take the money out and close the account. Problem solved.
Banks can take a money transfer easily. Open the account and tell the bank what you're doing and why, so they can help make sure this goes properly. You'll end up giving the guy that account number and the steering number for that branch.
BTW, I've paid people that kind of money via PayPal before. It works fine except they take 2.9% of the monies through their system.
