do not let the bike go till you got the cash in your hand. Tell him he may send the courior to collect the bike when the money is actually cleared into your account. Ask him why he cant use paypal . It sounds too dodgy. ok the £100 postal order is cash straight away making you trust him but you might kiss goodbye to the balance if he cancels the order as it takes a few days to clear. Its only my advice but its your choice. Also check his feedback is he new to ebay. he could be using new accounts to rip people off Ask the post office how long does it take to clear, the courior may just be a few of his mates in a van so you got no company to go after if it goes belly up. can you put the ebay item number here for us to check him out kaniff**** ??????
