Sorella Stoute of Portland Oregon is only one year old. But that didn’t keep her from accidentally buying a car on eBay Motors using her dad’s smartphone. Sorella’s parents didn’t realize what happened until they received the sales confirmation email from eBay.

Some are calling them "philanthropubs," but whatever you call them, the concept is pretty innovative.
Every time you buy a beer or food, the profits go to a charity of your choice. That's the bottom line.
