This is bike related. I was looking to buy some spare parts for a bike direct from manufacturer site.
The checkout process asks for my NI number which is a required field so can't checkout without it.
Why would a retailer be asking for this?
I get the HMRC rules on platforms like eBay and vinted etc to check on traders Vs personal thresholds and the like, but to make a simple purchase seems a little over the top?
Anyone know why this is being asked for?
For the record it's for some suspension bolts.
