I just picked up a bargain off Ebay & I put it down to bad spelling. ( I can just see Ron nodding in agreement)
Not to be critical of the seller, she was a lovely person, but I bid another $80.00 as these often sell for $150.00.
How would you find this on a search?

There are sometimes over 6,000 items listed under "Landrover"
Anyway, I'm not complaining, just pointing out the pitfalls to sellers.

exactly what were they selling?

Search term = ("Land Rover", Landrover) +Disco* +Lug*
check title and description.
If you want to exclude items then add: -DVD -model -CD* -Mag* -xenon -VHS
That's the luck of the ebay sale - you won it at a cheap price, sometimes you miss out altogether.
You won't find me on: faceplant; Scipe; Infragam; LumpedIn; ShapCnat or Twitting. I'm just not that interesting.

Not for nothing do you search Discovery by putting disco* in the search box, the asterix allows for spelling errors, and it takes less keystrokes too.

SupporterAs spelling has already been mentioned, am I allowed to raise a grammatical point and explain that it doesn't take less keystrokes, it takes fewer keystrokes?
Less is for quantity, fewer is for numbers. So "disco*" takes up less space because it uses fewer keystrokes.

I think I'll write a book "Secrets of ebay spelling"
To be sold on ebay only as a download and listed as "seakretz orf ebay speeleng"
Should ensure zero profitz.
I'm often more surprised by what comes up in searches I make that are completely unrelated.

Thankyou Ron.As spelling has already been mentioned, am I allowed to raise a grammatical point and explain that it doesn't take less keystrokes, it takes fewer keystrokes?
