Odds are you have bid, or at least browsed, for items on eBay. Sometimes the prices are ultra cheap and sometimes items go for above retail price. It really is a crap-shoot sometimes.

One advantage a savvy eBay user has is the ability to locate misspelled or incorrectly categorized items. Since these items are not easily stumbled across, only a few people may know about and avoid a bidding war.

A fantastic tool to find these “mistaken” listings is Type Snipe. With this simple tool, you type a keyword to search eBay for and it generates (from their website):

• Character typed twice
• Character omitted
• Characters swapped
• Key next to correct character hit
• Key next to correct character and correct character hit

So by browsing “mistaken” listings you might can really snag a bargain.
