Misspelled Items for Sale on eBay - By Mikel Beck

The method of selling and auctioning off old items was radically transformed with the introduction of eBay just a few years ago. eBay has grown to become the most popular form of buying and selling goods online and has spread to countries all around the world. You can find whatever you are looking for in just minutes using eBay’s search tool. Hundreds of new items for sale are being put up on eBay every day. However, every now and then, a few items are placed incorrectly or not spelled correct and thus get placed in the wrong categories. These items are known as “lost items” on eBay and do not display in search results. Hence, to find names on eBay with misspellings, one has to hunt for them. As a result of this, these listings get fewer visits and thus fewer bids. You can purchase items on eBay that have misspellings for far less than you could a regular item, as you will have less competition when bidding on misspelled items.


Now, although misspelled items may be great for buyers who can save money when they make a purchase, they hurt sellers greatly as prices can decrease significantly for a misspelled product. Hence, it is very important that when filling out the “Product Title” and “Product Description” categories, all information is entered correctly. It is surprising how many people do not take the time to double check and edit their listings and enter incorrect information. With the enormous number of items that are being put up for sale on eBay each day however, there is bound to be hundreds of products which are incorrectly placed and categorized each day.


Now, for the eBay shopper, finding these gems can be very difficult as they do not display in regular search listings and searching all possible spelling variations of a product, or manually searching through all of the categories on eBay until you find the product you are looking for or come up empty handed.
