I can't believe ppl actually use it...

I've heard this kind of story ALOT of times before this. I see so many different things that would have to happen for this situation to happen. It's just a classic fallback for "buyer's remorse".

Let's see :

- you didn't lock / turn off your computer.
- you left your Ebay account logged in.
- your child bid while noone was watching.
- you never noticed the bid on your account.
- you ignored the "bid confirmed" email you would have received.
- you didn't notice that you won an auction.
- you ignored the "Congratulations you've won this item" email you would have received.
- you left your Paypal account open / accessible to your minor child.
- you ignored the "receipt for your payment to..."email that you received when your child used your Paypal to pay for the item.
- you ignored the "Updates for your purchase from..."email that you received when the seller marked the item "sent".
- you waited a week after receiving item to contact seller about your minor child's lapse in judgement...

I try to be very understanding guy, but this is a time where I would simply advise the buyer that "You live, you learn." and tell them to enjoy the nice long talk I assume they are going to have with their child about responsibility.

My only worry is how this buyer is going to give you the sharp end of the stick with their feedback..

My computer will actually let me stay logged in to ebay and stays logged into paypal through ebay as well. I also use a seperate email address for all those ebay emails because they are so incredibly annoying and I dont even check that email because theres so many. So it is possible to be completely oblivious to that stuff but thats what I choose. Even without that, parents are still responsible for their kids.

Kids are smart, my 9 year old purchased $170 in apps from apple a couple weeks ago at a sleep over. Before I went to bed, I checked my email, and noticed all these charges. haha I was furious! Lucky for me, apple was very understanding and reversed all the charges. It will be a long, long time before she gets her Ipod back. Anyway, you did the right thing, you never know with some buyers.

yeah, i wouldnt lose any sleep over it. they should have the kid re-sell it on ebay to get their $ back LOL

[rjcj2017]

Hey, at least the kid paid for the item!
