Local pick up means local pickup?

G'day, I sold a bicycle and did not offer any postage, it was local pickup only (pay pal or cash as I didn't mind). I had several potential bidders contact me wanting me to package the bike up so a courier could come and get it, I declined as its a lot of extra work when I know it will sell locally.

After the auction ends it is payed for immediately via pay pal and the buyers address is listed interstate and being over 1000 km away. The buyer contacts me saying they are in Vietnam and are sending a shipping company to come and pick it up from 5 am to 5 pm. I'm at work Monday to Friday outside of these hours. I have no way of packing it up into a box or being home just waiting for a courier turn up. He did contact me by phone but his English was impossible to understand so I'v been using the message service.

Can I just refund his payment and re-list it?

I'm fearing it will be sent off, then claim to be damaged due to no packaging and asked for a refund.

Any suggestions? Thanks.
