This is a first for me. Usually, my mobile is logged onto Ebay. Somehow, it managed to click on an item in Swansea of a newspaper cutting of a camera. Then, mysteriously, my phone managed to press the "Buy Now" button and bought it. And this all happened while I was at work and it was sitting in my pocket! I contacted Paypal who decided there was insufficient evidence to call it an unauthorised transaction. Oddly, the seller hasn't contacted me and he has had a piece of negative feedback from someone else who has also been in the same situation. It's bizarre. Has anyone else experienced anything like this?

That's what I can't understand, Brian. Somehow, my mobile managed to not only buy the item but also purchase via paypal! (admittedly, this is only done with a click).
