Wire transfers are quite common and usually fast, though they can be a little
pricey. The sending institution usually charges a fee (though if you are a
good customer, they may not) and often the receiving institution charges one as
well. $20-30 on each end is common. If you get the process started before 10:00
or 11:00 AM you should have the funds the same day.
As far as bank routing and account numbers, the sending institution must have
it in order to transmit the funds. Would you drop an letter (remember those?)
in a mailbox or send an e-mail without an address?

I paid for my current EuroVan that way and PayPal on another one. I guess the
difference is that I have quite a bit of positive feedback. Yes it is safe.
Much safer than a cashiers check (which can be easily forged).
I sold a domain name via escrow.com and would recommend that as a safe
alternative - both parties are protected.
