Seems odd your buying a canadian bike based in malaysia
Forgive me but if you are an importer I would have thought you'd know that you'd have to contact Ducati direct for replacements or go through the Malaysian importer for Ducati or their dealer network. Keys as you may or may not know are coded to the ECU/Dash, so a replacement set is not a straightforward swap. You will need to take proof of ownership to a dealer and they will order a new laser cut key direct from Ducati for that particular bike (VIN number) and then when it arrives, they will program it to your ECU. If this cannot be achieved and you have to buy a complete new lock set, you'll also need to replace the fuel cap lock and seat lock if you replace the ignition barrel and likely the ECU as well. Either way it's not a cheap exercise. Replacement keys from the factory are around $100 each, a complete lock set around $1100 (not sure if this includes the ECU, but at that price probably not)
Did you not ask why the bike came with no keys. How do you know if the engine even runs if the auction house cant or have not started the bike? All seems a little too grey for my liking.

By the way..fyi..1299 panigale keys are not coded to ecu or dash..dealers that inform you this is just trying to scam their way to you wallet...1299 panigale keys are only coded the the ignition lock..thats all.thats why if you lost both of your keys..ducati sell the lock set which include the tank cap..seat lock..ignition switch and both keys...thats all...
Yep, also applies to the 1199 and 899.
Yes, it is, but it's not cheap (the required software is quite expensive ).
There are specialized companies like S.O.S. Diagnostics - Italian Bike Programming and Keys
Is that good info? I only ask as my lock will no longer turn (internal failure?) and I need to replace it....By the way..fyi..1299 panigale keys are not coded to ecu or dash..dealers that inform you this is just trying to scam their way to you wallet...1299 panigale keys are only coded the the ignition lock..thats all.thats why if you lost both of your keys..ducati sell the lock set which include the tank cap..seat lock..ignition switch and both keys...thats all...
