The benefit to the smart buyer who finds the items with spelling mistakes is that not a lot of bidding will happen on those items so in theory if you find these gems you will get a bargain. You can even then re-list it correctly and make a handsome profit.

A typical example of a listing that has ebay spelling mistakes is :

GRUNDIG DVD player VIDEO REORDER

Note the ebay spelling mistake of RECORDER. Not many people looking for a video recorder will get this item listed when they search.

So how do you find these spelling mistakes?

You could spend hours trying to spot them, or you could use one of the services out there that takes what you are searching for and applies the spelling mistakes automatically, then returns all the items on eBay for you.

The items I'm being shown are all correctly spelled!

Try using the singular of the word, rather than the plural. For example, use "golf club", not "golf clubs"

It finds items spelled incorrectly on EBAY sites.

As they are spelled incorrectly they have fewer bids (and often no bids) and therefore you can find bargains.
