Being paid to your bank account a bad idea?

[Grant]

Is being paid right to your bank account a bad idea? I've usually used PayPal to collect payment, and have used other services to move money to my bank account for a job. But otherwise it's just PayPal for me. With that being said, is it bad to give out your bank info to collect payment? How should you receive a payment to your bank account without them seeing your details?
