Receiving eBay payments by bank transfer, safe?

I just sold something for about £20 including postage, with payment options of PayPal, Cheque and postal order.

The guy who bought it says he wants it in a hurry and he couldn't pay via paypal immediately as his account is new and his debit card isn't completely registered yet.

He asked if I would accept a bank transfer instead, is this a safe/good idea? What could go wrong?

I'm thinking I'll just write back and say if he wants it in a hurry then use postal order, otherwise wait for PayPal or a cheque to clear, after all that's what I had in the listing.

Any ideas?
