Unearthing Hidden eBay Listings

Now, how do you find the cheapest of cheap eBay auctions, auctions that many people could not find because the buyer has misspelt the brand name. These hidden listings almost never have any bidders because people can't find them! Therefore, imagine the low, low price you can win an item because you are smart to use the best search engine on earth. This smart search engine is called SlashMySearch.com

I tried it out using various popular brand names and found SlashMySearch.com really did render me better results than what I could find on eBay's search itself.

On the main page, you can see the drop down menu where you can select "eBay Typo". The two entrepreneurs behind SlashMySearch.com also plan to have a similar typo search for Amazon.

It is amazing that Sellers can be the one typing in a wrong spelling in his listings but a Buyer will most probably key in the correct spelling in his search.

The vain me searched my own online nickname and there were so many sites that SlashMySearch managed to dig out where Google, Yahoo! and MSN failed. I know, I tried all these major search engines. Didn't I warn you I was vain? ahaha
