Grandma Auctioned On eBay

10-year-old Zoe found her grandmother annoying when watching TV, she was asked to make a cup of tea for her. 61-year-old grandma, Marian Goodall, was recuperating from knee surgery and Zoe probably got tired of fetching stuff for her so she logged in to eBay and placed a listing to auction off grandma with a starting bid of £0.99.

The auction received some bids before it was removed by eBay for listing violation where the sale of human beings is not allowed. While everyone thought that it's funny, I wonder what a ten year old is doing logged in to eBay. I thought the website is only for those above 18-years-old to buy and sell. If little Zoe had used the account of a family member then it says a lot about the lack security measures taken within the family to ensure that children do not access the websites that they are not supposed to!
