What is TypoHound?

Many eBay auctions contain typos in the listing title. For example, 'Samsung' may be spelt 'Samung'. This means that when someone searches for 'Samsung', the misspelled auction is not shown. Thus no bids are placed on it.

TypoHound generates common misspellings of the keyword you enter. Few people can find these auctions to bid on, so you can bag incredible bargains!

How does the typo search work?

Simply enter a search term and follow the link that is generated to hunt for typo deals on eBay!

TypoHound generates the following spelling errors:

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