Callum Duff pressed the 'buy' button by mistake while trying to prove to his girlfriend Rachel Hunter that he could buy a chopper online.
"While arguing with the missus I claimed that I do what I want and told her if I wanted to buy a helicopter on eBay then I would," he said.
"She told me you can't get helicopters on eBay so I proved her wrong," Duff was quoted as saying by Metro.Uk.
Hoping to pay for his blooper, Duff, who hails from the market town of Dumfries, has now set up a crowdfunding page to pay for the Enstrom Shark 280F but has only managed to raise 10 pounds.
After realising his mistake, Duff sent a message to the seller, saying 'Sorry, I hit the wrong button, did not mean to buy your helicopter'.
