Banking security

My wife (an ex-Customer Services Officer at a bank from before internet banking took off) wonders if there is any security issues with paying by internet bank transfer? Is an unscrupulous buyer or seller able to do anything with the information provided in the course of a transaction (eg Account Name and Account Number)?
Questionable links to online sites.

For NZ online sites there is no mention of www.zillion.co.nz despite it being decidedly New Zealand.
The www.ebay.co.nz site is a bit dubious, despite the .co.nz I don't think it is really a New Zealand site. The prices are in US Dollars and a couple of items I looked at didn't even have New Zealand on the list for freight costs - they did offer free delivery for US though.
