You forget though that for some people ebay *Is* serious and for many the money from ebay makes a huge difference to the family budgets.

BTW welcome to the board.

Thanks! great to be here

I'm a pretty casual ebay seller these days (as you may have guessed) so i'm looking forward to picking up some tips.

I see a few people find the situastion hard to believe - but my 3 yr old did exactly the same a few weeks ago. He was playing nick junior games when a email came through to the outlook. When that happens it automaticlly brings up outlook. And trying to get his game back he managed to click on the new email which was a watched item ending email - he clicked on a picture, buy it now and commit. Resulting in a purchase for £38 car mats.
Its not hard for a 3 yr old. the button is there - he looks through his nick jr website looking for a button to pres to open the game.
The seller was fine and we agred to pay selling costs - although a buyer can get these fees back if he goes through the right channels in ebay - i felt it was only fair i paid something - my son after all.

this in itself worries me. Who leaves a three year old on a computer unsupervised? Nick Junior or not, who knows what site he might come across (and don't come the net nanny stuff, as obviously from the above, they are signed in on an adult log in if their parents emails are coming in at the same time). Do people not care about what their children do anymore?
