Do I have any protection as buyer if I pay by bank transfer?

I have bid and won an auction where the buyer has paypal as an option as well as cash on collection but wnats to be paid via bank transfer. Do I have any buyer protection of I pay by this method?

No, if it's an expensive item you should use your credit card with Paypal, if possible.
