Welcome to Typo Spy!


Typo Spy is free to use and searches the online auctions to find common typographical errors and spelling mistakes made by sellers when they list items. Naturally some words generate more productive typo searches than others but, with a little thought, it's possible to find a product niche that yields amazing results.

Get Started by typing any word in the box below. You'll pick it up in no time!


                                         


See the Wikipedia entry about typos in online auctions (opens in new window).

What works best? Search for specific keywords commonly associated with items you want to buy. There's little point doing a multiple word search as this reduces the number of potential typo hits. For example searching the term "diamond bracelet" will return fewer auction listings containing typos than the much wider search for "diamond".
