Looking at some of the E Bay ads some people seem to have no spelling ability at all. But in this caseit cost the seller big money!

You should try Fatfingers.com. Type in something you want to search for on eBay and it searches for all common mistypings and misspellings of it. Very handy for finding bargains from illiterate sellers!
