I have recently made an ebay misspell tool located at http://ebooked.org/Misspell.php , the tool will find items with mistakes in their titles . It can help users find items for cheaper and sellers who made mistake in their title sell their items.There is also the option to search word without mistakes so search will bring misspelled and correctly spelled word ( more resulsts :D! ).

This tool took alot of work to make because the misspells found are based on common mistakes made while typing so i had to test typos with different people . It may not find all mistakes but due to the limited characters for the search i had to use only the most fequent mistakes .

I would appreciate comments and suggestions . Thanks

Hi Quack,

Welcome to AuctionCUT. I like the mispelling tool & the whole concept of finding a bargain due to a sellers mistake. However, there are quite a few tools available now which do a similar function, both paid for and free.

For your site to really take off, you have to do something different to give users a reason to use you over the others.

Will you be offering international versions of the tool, perhaps you could built it into a toolbar for firefox or ie. Just a suggestion of course.

Good luck

Thanks for your comment . The misspell tool already has something that other misspell tools dont have . The words found with the misspell will give you better results than other similar programms because of the way to determine the various mispells .

But you are right that it needs to have something different . My plans for the future : adding optional accounts where users can save their favorite keywords and i was planing on offering the international versions too . A toolbar would be a good idea but i dont know how to program that .
