You do not let them take the item until you have that code and have added it to the order (to make sure it's a real code).</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>If the buyer looks at the item (the bike, presumably) and doesn't want it then you simply cancel the order.</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>The danger lies in your buyer taking the bike and then deciding that it's not as described, then you have to arrange and pay to retrieve your bike.&nbsp;</P> Wed, 05 Nov 2025 12:33:43 GMT *vyolla* 2025-11-05T12:33:43Z
