Marketplace
I wouldn't have thought this was possible but it happened to me. My phone was in my pocket on Friday afternoon and I had looked at something on ebay earlier but not dyson vacuum cleaners. Suddenly, around 5pm, I get an email from ebay confirming my purchase of a dyson vacuum. I swear I did not buy anything and honestly have no idea how it happened. I called ebay outraged and they said that the purchase came from the ip address of my mobile phone and given that I had bought from that device previously they viewed it as legitimate.
I asked them how it can possibly be that I clicked and bought something without my knowledge and they said they do not have one click purchasing. The only possible explanation is that there was some type of pop up that appeared and like a pocket call, I clicked on it without knowing it and bought the item.
I have now uninstalled the app but I am worried this could happen again so would like to have some guidance from you smart people as to how this happened and what I can do to prevent it.
Meanwhile, dyson says they can't cancel the order as it has already been "sent" but that they will let me return it once it arrives and get a refund. But what a hassle!
