in Ebay, auctions, car boot sales, post & parcels
The next time I hear this from a non-payer, I'm going straight to the press.

Tsk. Lack of parental control at it's finest.

    What idiot allows their kids to surf Ebay?

    What idiot allows their 3 year old to surf the net whilst they're sleeping? How would the child have even found the site if they hadn't been shown?

    It doesn't ring true at all - the kid would have had to switched on the computer, gone onto the internet, typed in the url for ebay, entered "digger" into the search options and then found the buy it now button and clicked it and then confirm. Or worse still, entered a valid price.

    There is no way that happened.

    What she selected the price box, typed in a suitable price in the correct format and then clicked on "bid" and then "confirm bid"?

    LOG OFF EBAY when you are not at your computer. DON'T SAVE YOUR PASSWORD if you have children.

    SIMPLES. As alexander would say.
