How can someone see an item that's on reserve?

I received a message (through Bonanza) tonight asking about a book that I have had on reserve since last September. When I clicked on the link provided in the email for the item, it takes me to the item but there’s a message at the top saying it’s preview only, and I’m the only one that can see it. It doesn’t show up in my booth, so how did the person who sent the message see it?

If the item has ever been tweeted or pinned or Facebooked, that link is still out there…they probably asked about it because they saw it somewhere else, but you did not have it active in your booth when they clicked on the link…

You see the preview, because you are logged in, but they probably got the “Whoops” message…and therefore asked you about it

Sometimes it is still on search engines.
