Toddler buys car on eBay

She may only be 14 months old, but Sorella Stoute is already a seasoned eBay user. Just ask her father, Paul Stoute, who recently opened up his email to discover the toddler had bid on a 1962 Austin Healey Sprite -- and won.

The Oregon father had left his smartphone unattended and unlocked when his daughter inadvertently opened his eBay app, according to local news reports. A few clicks later and the toddler bought a car on eBay.
