Seeking out Mis-Spelled Auctions on eBay
With more than 167 million registered users eBay is the largest market-place in the world. Tens of thousands of items are listed every day and the vast majority of these don’t contain any spelling mistakes. But a significant proportion do, either in the item title or the description.Now I’m sure you’re thinking ’so what, why does this matter ?’ Well the answer is surprisingly simple – these mis-spelled auction items cannot be found directly using eBay’s built-in search functions. To find them, you’ll need to browse the category listings by hand, which is tedious and extremely time-consuming. As a result mis-spelled auctions get fewer bids and usually sell for less (if they sell at all).If you’re looking to pick up a bargain on eBay this is great news but if you want an easy way to make some extra money why not buy these mis-spelled items cheaply and then sell them on again at a profit. Talk about easy money ! But how do you find them ?

The best ebay misspelling tool that I’ve seen is at http://www.newlifeauctions.com/misspell.html It generates the most mispelled listings and automatically filters out unwanted listings. You can refine your search by including and excluding additional words. Definitely NOT another copy of the same tool that you find everywhere.
