The payment is secured through a PIN which you get from your bank as you transfer. Anyone with your Account number need that pin - which is different for each transfer - or there is no transmission of anything.

The only thing he could try after having obtained your name and account number through your payment is to retrieve money from your account through "direct debit" (Lastschrift). But that would require a faked "SEPA mandate" and therefore consist of more than one criminal offenses. Not very likely in this case, after all the seller would be fishing for account numbers within a very small community.

And BTW: Wasn't the real original flexboard designed and made by HP in 1979? So every replacement part made by third parties after that is a copy, isn't it? In this case here maybe a copy of a copy, but that has to be proven yet.
