Poltergeist in laptop buyer - best excuse ever?

RFW

Sold something tonight and received this message:

"was looking at your items on Ebay and my laptop has taken upon itself to do a buy it now and I'm not sure how this has happened"

I can only think it must have been a poltergeist or a new version of Windows that does what it likes. So be careful of your laptop bidding without your knowledge.

"Dear Buyer,

My home PC also appears to have a silmilar problem to your laptop as whilst I was in my kitchen making a cup of tea, the computer has somehow filed a non paying bidder dispute with ebay.
Maybe there is new ebay related computer virus on the loose"
