Just as these web sites claim typos can potentially be used for bargain hunting. I am not sure how practical this is but the number of web sites offering the service looks very convincing. I have found that misspellsearch.com offers the best customization options for eBay while misspellr.com has covered the most popular US auction web sites. All of these web sites are fairly simple and it should take you just a few minutes to get an idea how they work.
| Auctions | Customization | |
|---|---|---|
| misspellr.com | eBay, CraigsList, eBid, Yahoo! | some |
| misspellsearch.com AKA bestwebauctions.net |
eBay, uBid, BidMonkey | advanced for eBay |
| typohound.com | eBay | none |
| fatfingers.com | eBay, uBid (UK Only), QXL (UK) | none |
| typotool.net | eBay | none |
