Konto = account
BLZ = Bankleitzahl (bank number).
These two plus the name should be enough for an electronic funds transfer (widely used in Germany and not so much in the US).

Either way, once you make the payment the money's gone and to my knowledge you have none of the protections afforded by a credit card payment. If you have reasons to believe this may be a less than very honest seller, don't send a payment this way and insist on something like paypal.
