About proof of ownership
1) I recently bought my bike from eBay, I don't have a receipt for it – can I still insure it?- Yes, although you should make sure that the value you insure it for sufficiently covers a new bicycle of the same style, quality and functionality. This is because we replace bicycles on a new for old basis – if you put a lower value in, you may have to make up the difference to get a bicycle of similar functionality.
As you don't have a receipt, we'd advise that you have a picture taken of you with the bike (preferably auto dated) and keep that in a safe place, should you have to make a claim. Keeping a copy of the auction and any Paypal payment record would also be useful.

- 2) I don't have receipts for all of my bike parts and accessories, what can I do to prove ownership?
- It's particularly important that you have proof of ownership of any major cycle parts and lock. Proof of this could be packaging, manuals or photos of all of the relevant parts, clearly showing the make (and model if applicable) of that item.
Alternatively bank or credit card statements can be provided and in some occasions, retailers may be able to provide copy receipts for larger purchases.
