Find deals on eBay using misspelled auctions tool

Millions of listings are added to eBay every day. Many of them contain typos or misspellings. Savvy eBay buyers and sellers peruse these listings to find deals and inexpensive inventory to resell on eBay.

Here is how it works. Use a tool such as Typohound. Enter the correct spelling of an item or brand name. Let's use Burberry as an example. Typohound will return a list of all possible misspellings and then pop these words into the eBay search engine.

The result - a list of eBay listings that have any variation of the word Burberry. For example, click here to see a Burberry crested blazer up for sale at only $29. The seller has misspelled the brand name BURBERY (missing an R). You could very well purchase this item, have it shipped to you, re-take the photos, list the item, and sell it for $50-$60. (According to HammerTap, the average selling price for a Burberry blazer in EUC condition is $55. This one has the crest, so it will probably go for more.)

How easy is that for finding inventory without leaving home? Misspelling tools are free to use and you can find some incredible deals in the process. Like this tip? Check out Jim Cockrum's My Silent Team for more creative eBay selling strategies
