With easy-to-use apps being deemed one of the greatest inventions of modern-day technology, a recent KOIN-TV report has revealed that a 14-month-old girl in Portland, Ore., went on a shopping spree of sorts on the eBay app on her father's smartphone, and purchased a vintage car --- a 1962 Austin Healey Sprite!

The toddler - named Sorella Stoute - surprised her father, Paul Stoute, by buying the good-condition Sprite for him on eBay. The Portland man was informed of the purchase via a congratulatory message from eBay, which said that he had bought the Sprite for $225.

Paul Stoute was not aware of the purchase at all; but upon verification, he found that his little daughter - who is extremely fond of playing with his phone - had actually bought the Sprite by logging into the eBay app which can be used for making instant purchases.

Sorella could probably log into the eBay app easily because her father had been looking at cars on the site, with the intention of handling a rebuilding project with a friend.

After the incident of the car purchase on eBay, Sorella's parents - Paul and Christina - have not only added password protection to their handsets, but have also uninstalled all apps which can be used for making a purchase.

Meanwhile, taking the eBay mistake in their stride, the couple now plans to turn the Sprite purchase into a memorable gift for their daughter --- presenting the all-fixed-up vintage car to her on either her 16th birthday or high school graduation!
