Is an online auction such as this a legally binding contract?
The reality is that if they refuse to part with the bike you're stuffed. You can't force them to sell it. What'll happen is you post bad feedback, they'll probably go to TradeMe and ask for their listing fee back making up some story about you never emailing them and you both end up with "sale was not completed" notes in your feedback.

Chances are though, if they listed it at that price, no reserve, they'll probably sell it for that.
