Find Misspelled eBay Auctions
By Martin English | January 23, 2009
from Find Misspelled eBay Auction.
A standard way of saving money when buying on eBay is to find auctions that come with misspelled titles and descriptions. Someone selling a Playtation 3 will probably most likely earn less than someone who is selling a Playstation 3.
Auction Bloopers is a website that will search for misspelled auctions on various eBay marketplaces including eBay.com, eBay.co.uk and eBay.com.au. The standard search requires you to enter the correct spelling of what you’re searching for. The site uses common misspellings to build and run a search query against the selected eBay site. For example, using Playstation found over 80 auctions at eBay.com.au.
There’s advanced options that can be used to exclude search terms from the results. Only the title of an auction is searched, but because the result is given to you as an ebay web page, you can easily extend the search to include the description.

There's something wrong with the above statement…
