I guess plagiarism is flattery at it's best. They also were the first to offer a toolbar and other online tools.

So let's compare what's out there: Using the same example (playstation) from above: SpellingSearch found 228. Gumshoo/Auctionfigure found 168. Fat Fingers found 153. APNRetail found 152. Misspellr found 151. Typotool found 150. Misspellsearch found 141. Goofbay found 141. Busterbay found 140. Missing-Auctions found 15. Typotracker's "found" matches didn't add up to the amount found on ebay. Their second link to additional supposed "matches" produced no results at Ebay. Bargainchecker included the correctly spelled items in its results, even though I didn't ask for them. Listedwrong searched in title and description even though I didn't want it to. ... Overall, it looks to me like most of the sites hovering around the 150 item range are probably using similar (if not the same) spellchecking functions. SpellingSearch brought back the most results and only served up what I asked for, so for me, I'm off to spellingsearch.com. Looks to me like there are TOO MANY of these tools available right now.

The miss spelt way of finding bargains is a little bit old hat now and lots of people know about it. The best way to find bargains is when people dont even put the keyword in the title (nevermind spelling it wrong they havent put it in at all) The only site i know which does this is www.goofbay.co.uk its by far the best ebay bargain checker and way more advanced than those you've listed above. It also has other features/tools where you can view an ebay members private feedback or check for shill bidders. Have a look for yourself you'll see im not wrong!

I just happened to stumble upon this forum & I'm so happy I did! Can someone please share some information with me on searching ebay for misspellings. I tried several of the site you have listed & am a little confused. I thought the trick was by finding misspelled words in the title you would be able to snatch up a bargain. I haven't found anything like that yet. What am I doing wrong? Please let me know. Thanks in advance :) Hi! I just happened to stumble upon this forum & I’m so happy I did!

Each keyword is intelligelty searched for many misspellings. They also have a scam auctions filter and a filter to show only "new in box" items. They recently added pushpin shopping that lets you view multiple eBay listings on a single page so you don't have to keep clicking the back button. Highly recommended!
