My one year old left follow up feedback, which made me look like a complete tool.

Was midway through writing the feedback, had to go to the door or something came back and 1 year old was playing on the laptop and feedback was left.

It seems like your buyer has just changed his mind and is willing to lose a £1 over it.

Oh look a competitive parenting thread is developing!! My child is better than both yours...

I take your 2 year old bidding, and your 1 year old leaving feedback, but my newborn has just been made a powerseller, so beat that!

and it's true! it's here on MSE so it must be fact.

I'm too old to get into the 'child genius' argument, but as a parent I must ask those with very young children, is it normal to leave everything logged in and with open internet connections..does no one now watch what their children do and what they access? When I were t'lass I never even let them have a TV control in case they changed a channel onto something unsuitable.

apparently if a 2 years old genius child can write "0.99", click "Place Bid" then next page "Confirm bid" there is nothing you can do to stop them... :rotfl:

I don't really think it was your child that made you look like one....?

I wonder if you all got your kids off ebay? All mine did was delete all my stuff off the desktop.

AT 1st it was by random clicking, Later it seemed amusing watching stuff vanish and hearing
the crumpling paper noise it makes.

Why did i not find ebay sooner?

I'd only half written it and not checked grammer and spelling I was fuming with myself as it could be revised.

My laptop was left on the sofa arm so it was possible from him to reach up and press the buttons.

It easy with laptops for kids to touch them if they are not at a proper computer desk.

My cat did something similar the other day. I was in the middle of emailing my boss, i went to answer the door and come back to find the cat walking all over my keyboard - he had managed to type loads of random letters and actually send the email - amongst other settings he had managed to change through his random pressing of buttons.

Lesson learnt - lock keyboard everytime i leave the computer.

I suspect something similar happened to the buyer in this case and he just decided to follow up with the purchase to avoid a npb - after all its .99p. If he now says you as the seller can do what you want with it, then no problem. Id either freecycle it, or relist it, or just take it down the dump. End of problem!

Looks like the buyer paid as he would feel guilty that the OP had to pay their FVF and be out of pocket.
Just freecycle the computer as you have got the asking price - 99p plus you will get rid of the computer.
