It’s not common knowledge but a large number of eBay sellers consistently fail to read through their auction listings before they submit them to eBay.  Sometimes these auction typos are deliberate and result from sellers trying to cram too much detail in to the auction title (eBay limits this to just 65 letters).  More usually these typos are simply due to carelessness or a basic inability to spell.

But why is this important ?

Because unless someone searching on eBay for a particular item happens to misspell the search word in exactly the same way then these misspelled auctions are unlikely to be found.

Up until recently the only way that these auction typos could be located was by wading through the auction listings line by line.

Thankfully there is a better way to find these misspelled auctions: one that has been used successfully by tens of thousands of bargain hunters over the last year and it’s to use a third party web site to search for eBay misspellings called Auction-Fatfingers.com.

This very specialized search engine functions by taking a correctly spelled word or brandname, deliberately misspelling it in a number of ways and then submitting the list of misspellings to eBay.  Any misspelled auctions containing any of the words on the list of misspellings will then be shown on eBay.

But why do this ?

The answer is stunningly simple !  Because these eBay auction typos are usually quite tricky to find they get fewer bids. This means that misspelled items generally sell for less than the same item which is correctly spelled, if they sell at all.  So while these stupid typing mistakes cost the sellers money they mean that you, the purchaser, can get a real bargain.

If you’re really smart you can even relist any misspelled items that you buy (taking care to avoid introducing typos) in order to make a profit.

So what are you waiting for ? Why not pay a visit to Auction-Fatfingers.com immediately and try searching for ‘Abercrombie’, ‘Motorola’ or ‘Playstation’. You’ll be astonished at the bargains that you can find.
