Good suggestion - I'm already shielded on Ebay due to email forwarding of my
EBay email address (my EBay address is a forwarding spot only).

Yes, it counts as a Bank transfer - a transfer from your funds - not a CC
payment.
As far as getting stuck with a fraudulent payment...
That's a cost of accepting CC's anywhere. If their EBay rating is good, I'd
probably accept their CC. I accept CC payments all the time on BAYLIT, and
check EBay feedback if I need to. (I ask for EBAY user id's)
Acutally PP has a policy in this regard on their TOU, but to doesn't fix
everything.
Digression....
I had one great customer who bought tons of stuff from me then the first time I
sent him some stuff (not a large amount really) before he paid, as he had
requested, he up and disappeared.
On another occasion, I had someone disappear after they'd paid for their stuff
- package returned as "undeliverable" (they'd tried to deliver it 4 times) and
he never responded to email again.
Wierd stuff happens all the time.
