TLDR:
30 cases, $4,000.
She got her money back after making a stink in the media.
I don’t think that company regularly gets orders that big, do they? Maybe when getting a large order, they should contact the buyer to confirm it.
Two thoughts on why it didn't get flagged
But idk, I just skimmed the article lol
IDK what the fuck kind of settings people have on their phones to allow anyone with access to it to do that?
Any action that requires a payment or money transfer on my phone also requires authentication, and I'm not even sure I can disable that.
But maybe that's because I'm in EU?

Enabled by default as far as I can tell. I don't know anyone whose kid has done something like this and there's no way none of them tried.
Nevermind, I see that it was Amazon so I went and checked the app (not a frequent Amazon shopper). No verification, you can just click Buy Now
No verification, you can just click Buy Now
I don't think that's possible here, Are you in USA? IDK if it's EU or because I'm in Denmark.
We had it some years back, but our available payments systems have increased security since.
I don't think it's a good idea to have purchases drawn from you account with no security. And I don't think it should be legal.
LaFavers said she was changing some settings on her phone to make sure there's never another surprise
deliverycandy crush at home.
C'mon guys, that joke was easier than taking credit card information from a single parent
LaFavers doesn’t want her kid doing the favors for other kids.
70,000 is just a starting point for negotiation, she counters with zero then they settle on 7,000 and both walk away with a win.
there should be a regulation that businesses who sell to minors over the internet are liable for the mistake. They're the ones who benefit from such easy ordering, and this is a foreseeable consequence of that.
That's just asking to have online shopping become much harder, requiring more identity verification than just having a credit card and an address. Which is maybe beneficial overall; it would cut down on fraud, but I doubt it would be a popular change.
I'm honestly pro-anything-that-reduces-consumption. This would reduce consumption because it would make people consider their purchases more.
How? For all they know the mother bought them. That's what the billing and shipping info says.
They didn't know they were selling to a minor. He used his mother's phone. It's right there in the headline.
There should be a regulation that if you don't secure a device that is later used in a way you don't want because of lack of said security, you are shit out of luck. - ftfy
It's not the fault of the business because your pin code is 1234 (or non-existent). People need to figure shit out. If a child grabs your car keys and then crashes the family sedan, it's not Toyota's fault; same thing.
Kid's been brought up right, sharing with his friends. Very kind
The story isn't finished!
Did the kid end up having his sucky carnival‽
I don't like this sentence.
Phrasing!
