Saving: Check for misspelled listings and save!

Monday, August 4, 2014
While you can get a lot of great deals on Ebay, there is a little-known technique for even better finds - checking for typos!

According to the Krazy Coupon Lady, many listings never sell or go for low prices after an auction because the listing was misspelled.

While you can manually type in a variety of different spellings to see what comes up, there are also a few free online computer programs and mobile apps that do the searching for you!

She says to try FatFingers - either on the web or as an app. Just type in the correct spelling of what you are looking for and a full list of items pops up, with a variety of spelling and spacing problems.

Here is a list of sites to try:
