A Nottinghamshire mum has decided to delete her eBay account after making an embarrassing mistake.

The amusing mishap happened in July when 23-year-old Melissa Seaman saw a pop-up advert for a water jug with two glasses.

Miss Seaman, who is a photographer from Worksop, thought the £1.79 jug would be ideal to put pre-made juice in for her 6-year-old daughter, Daisy, who struggles to make cordial drinks by herself.

After clicking 'buy it now' on her phone she thought no more of the incident, until a very small package arrived a few days later.

She said: "I just saw the package on the floor and thought oh no what have I done now.

"I had no idea it was for a doll's house when I ordered it, I just saw the picture and thought it would be ideal.

"When I realised what I had done I just couldn't stop laughing, at least they have been put to good use now because my daughter does actually have a doll's house."

This isn't the first eBay gaffe that Miss Seaman has made, she accidentally bid £540 on a yacht after a night out.

She added: "I don't know where I thought I was going to use a yacht in Worksop, I am so glad I got outbid.

"I have closed my eBay account now, I think that's for the best and I actually went into a shop to buy a new water jug so I couldn't get it wrong."

The most recent mistake made her decide that she should close her account for good before any more incidents occur.

The description for the items clearly states that they were miniature. It is described as 'Jug With Lid & Two Glasses, Doll House Miniature, 1.12th Scale, Drink, Kitchen.'

The description also has the measurements of the items. The jug is 23mm high and the glass is 12mm.

The eBay description also states "Please do note this item is not full size they are for a doll's house and miniature collectors."
