Why don't you just book the ticket on the airline's website?
It's a matter of trust. The TA I use also only accepts bank transfer. However I've been using this same TA for the past 4-5 years, so am comfortable with paying by bank transfer.
I've had this several times with agents. They don't want to pay the credit card company 3% or whatever. Off to the ATM then!
Still get printed itinerary, receipt etc. Not been aproblem.
For what it's worth, I used to work in that building, and I've used Connaught Travel for years for cheap Airport Express tickets, as well as once booking a trip (flight&hotel) through them. They're a real agent, and reputable.
In the past I have used Arman Travels in TST to book flights to India and paid the amount by bank transfer and never had any trouble.
In Australia these days everyone now grosses up their invoices and charges you the credit card fee if you want to pay by credit card. I HATE it. But logic suggests it makes sense at some level.
