    I can’t see why they would need it. You’re going to be paying them, not the other way around.

    Routing and account numbers are readily available on the bottom of your checks (those big black numbers).
    Are you authorizing them to direct draw or to post debits to your account? If so, make sure they’re reputable first. If they’re overseas or otherwise shady (do a check online), then NO.
    If you MUST deal with them, set up another account at your bank that can only draw from much as you have on hand and don’t give them further information.
    If it’s just another business, I’d seriously consider their motives.

    No. Get a PayPal account.

    There’s no reason they would need that unless they intend on asking you to sign something allowing them to pull money out of your account directly, which is a VERY BAD IDEA.

    Tell them if they want you as a customer, they need to extend you appropriate credit to purchase the parts. If they won’t do that, you’ll either need to charge the items on a credit card or find another vendor.
