ok, see thing i want on gumtree, cant go in person as its other end of country, guy has no paypal but bank of scotland account. is there anyway i can pay and get protected if its a scam. i think i have read about e-cheques which clear when goods arrive although i'm not 100% sure about this?

If he really wants to sell he could get paypal.

Is it really worth the risk.

Ask someone local to pick it up for you?

This. Surely someone on here would pick it up and dispatch for beer tokens and cost of P&P (I would if it was in Brizzle for an STWer). Bank transfer is way too dodgy for something on gumtree.
