A three-year-old boy used his mother’s computer to buy a ￡9,000 car on the internet auction site eBay.

傑克．尼爾的父母，接到網站恭賀有關這輛粉紅色日產Figaro的訊息時，才發現他們兒子標下這輛車。
Rachel, 36, said： "We couldn’t understand what was happening. Neither of us had bought anything. So we checked and saw it was a Barbie pink car which we’d bought for ￡8,999. We flew into a panic."
36歲的瑞秋說：「我們不明白發生了什麼事，我們誰也沒買東西。所以我們查了一下，看到這是一輛我們用8999英鎊買的芭比粉紅車，我們驚慌失措。」
The next morning Jack woke and told his parents： "I’ve bought a car."

Mrs Neal said she thought she had left her eBay password in her computer. She said： "Jack’s a whizz on the PC and just pressed all the right buttons."
尼爾太太說，她想起她把eBay密碼留在電腦中。她說：「傑克是電腦奇才，所有的鍵都按對了。」
Her husband John, 37, called the seller of the car and explained the mistake. "Luckily he saw the funny side and said he would re-advertise," Mrs Neal added.
她37歲的丈夫約翰打電話給車子的賣家，解釋錯誤。尼爾太太補充說：「所幸他看出其中的趣味，說他會重新廣告。」
The car is available on eBay at a starting price of ￡7,999 or a buy it now price of ￡8,999.
這輛車在eBay起標價7999英鎊，現在購買價是8999英鎊。
