Thread: Find a bargin with eBay typos!

I'm sure most of you will have seen it, but I thought I'd draw attention to the link anyway just in case.

Up above, you'll see a link that says "eBay typos". This link will open a small window where you can put in your search query as per normal on eBay, but the difference is when it does the search, it automatically adds in misspelt versions of your word as well.

Why might this be a good idea? Well, some times people don't know how to spell a product or simply make a typo. This means that it doesn't get the exposure that a properly listed item would get, which in turn means you might find a bargain.

Case in point. I just got a pair of brand new Heelys for Ana for £7 because the seller consistently spelt "Heeles".

Anyway, it's there to use if you want... If not, that's cool... I don't mind buying all the bargains!

Good job Sabian Saw something about this in my weekly MSE email but deleted the email before I read it!
