Awesome Deals on Ebay

You can find awesome deals on eBay when you search for misspelled items, which you can often turn around and resell for a profit. If the seller mispells the name of the item in the auction title, it wont get seen by the majority of the people that are looking for that item through the eBay search. It will get less views, less bids - and generally sell for a much lower price.

Relisting these items correctly is a great way to turn a profit. Searching for these items is also a great way to get a sweet deal on something you are looking to buy for yourself. 😉

Up until now, I've always relied on my own imagination to come up with possible misspellings when doing a search for these kinds of hidden auction deals. But today I ran across SpellingSearch which is a free eBay misspelling search tool!

The site offers full instructions for making the most of their search tool, as well as suggestions and general details. It's a pretty cool site actually, complete with some nice branding - I can see this one really taking off.

Testing out the search box, I was surprised to see how many sellers mispelled "playstation" - geez. The next search I tried was for "collectible". Of course you can get much more specific than that, which is great if you are looking for certain items or something related to a particular niche...

Give it a try and let me know what you think!
