“Say you are looking to buy a Louis Vuitton wallet or perhaps an espresso maker. When you search for those things on ebay you’ll normally be in a competitive bid situation. If, however, you can find listings where people have accidentally misspelled the item or made a typo, then nobody else will see the listing and you’ll be the only bidder. That is how you get a great deal on eBay!“

To get started, type in whatever you are looking for (spelled correctly) and click “Search”. TypoBuddy will then search for all possible typos and misspellings of it and bring you the results.

Features:

• Search for misspelled eBay auctions and CraigsList listings.
