“Many items listed for sale on the popular auction site eBay go unnoticed and are sold for a steal because of a simple spelling error.
You can pick yourself up a grammatically powered bargain by visiting e Boo Boos.
The site is simplicity itself to use. Just select the flag of the country you want to search in the yellow search box, and type the name of the item — correctly spelt — in the box below.
You can add words to exclude from your search and even specify a category section and how you want the results to be sorted — by price, or time left to run on the auction.
And you would be surprised how many people spell their auction details wrong. With no spell checker attached to eBay, items like handbags and even designer labels names like Armani can go for a steal at the minimum bid specified by the seller.
If you want inspiration on what to search for, the site even has a selection of example search words in the panel to the left.
A nice trick is if you do not find what you want on your first search, click on another flag and you can search that country's site as well.”
