Increase in buyers buying two items by mitstake

[transport-posters]

Has anyone else noticed an increase recently of buyers who accidentally purchase more than one of the same item?  It's happened three times in the past two weeks.  Has been a rare occurance otherwise.  I don't know if it's a bug with eBay or something else.

Haha, funny.  Reminds me of a Monty Python sketch.

Well I just got ANOTHER duplicate purchase by mistake.  Sigh!!

I accidently did this the other day. It wasn't my fault though because i was using my Iphone and ebay said checkout failed and that i must do it again so i did. Somehow the first transaction went through as well and i ended up paying for and recieving 2 of the exact same book lol.

No doubt eBay are aware of this problem with their mobile apps (yes it has happened to me too) Will they fix it?

They haven't been able to fix the recurring problem with buyers not being able to pay when the postage method chosen is 'freight'

I've been regularly reporting this problem for several years and it is still not fixed- so I wouldn't hold my breath

They even seem to have a standard 'brush off' line "This is a known eBay problem & is being worked on There is no timeframe for resolution"
