Ebay Misspelled Listings Can Make You Money

Did you know that peoples’ typing errors could make you money or secure you a bargain?

Every day on eBay many thousands of auctions end without a single bid, and it wasn’t because no one wanted what was for sale, but because the seller had made a spelling or typing error in the auction title.

How could this make you money?

Let’s say someone was selling a games consol, for example, a Sony Playstation with a starting bid of £9.99, but they made a typographical error and misspelled it “Plyastation”. Let’s also assume that they sell for around £70.00, which is the amount the seller was expecting to get. But instead of getting 15 or 20 bids, he only got one – yours.

Here comes the part where you make money. You can now put an auction on eBay for the same Playstation, spelled correctly, and make the money the first seller should have got.
