Ebay Misspellings And How To Profit From Them With A Free Misspelling Tool
Items with misspelled information do not show up on regular eBay searches, so often, these auctions will receive significantly fewer bids than their correctly spelt counterparts.
Some items will receive no bids at all.
Why are there so many misspellings on eBay? Well sadly, or happily for us, many eBay sellers are just no good at spelling, some make the occasional typo and some are just plain lazy when it comes to checking over their auction listings.
Whatever the reason, we don't really care because this creates a great opportunity for us to bag ourselves a bargain.
Not only that, this gives us a great opportunity to make money by re-listing the item, this time correctly spelt of course and reselling it for a handsome profit.
At the time of writing this articled, I entered the word 'diamond' into my own misspelling tool.
It returned a total of 284 auctions where the word had been spelt incorrectly and many of those auctions, some with only a few hours to go, had no bids on them at all! I also like to collect Wedgwood china.
I entered the term 'Wedgwood' into the tool and got a total of 10 misspelled auctions with only 1 bid between them.
To find these bargains by typing in every possible variation of an item name would take forever and this is where an auction misspelling tool comes into its own.
Just type into the box the name of the item you are looking for, spelt correctly of course, and a misspelling tool will return in seconds every item listed on eBay with an incorrect spelling.
If you really want to profit from using such a tool, it is a good idea to get yourself a 2nd eBay account, eBay does allow this, and use this account to sell on any items you purchased through your main account.
It probably would not go down too well if the seller who supplied you with your bargain saw it re-listed and selling at a much higher price just a few days later! Misspelling tools are easily available, just enter misspelling tool into Google, some suppliers make a charge but many are available to use free, although some do require you to provide an e-mail address.
