eBay now caters to the large seller, pushing fixed Price listings and showing search results in "best match" order. Seems that they want a more uniform buying process.
Anyway, for those who are still selling on eBay, or those looking for a deal, searching eBay for items with the main key words misspelled in the title may be worth a try. Most searchers will never see these items, meaning less competition and most likely a better deal for you.
A site like www.ebuyersedge.com (typojoe.com, etc) will search ebay for misspelled versions of a key word that you enter.
The site also gives you the option of saving your favorite searches so you get an e-mail when there's a new match, giving you a jump and an advantage on other buyers. This works best for "Buy It Now"s but is good for auctions too.
I have read that some people claim to make a living from buying misspelled listings and then re-listing them on eBay with correctly spelled titles. I don't know about that, but it should at least increase your chances of finding a good deal for yourself.
