What does FatFingers for iPhone do?

It finds items spelled incorrectly on eBay sites.

As they are spelled incorrectly they have fewer bids (and often no bids) and therefore you can find bargains.

How can I search UK, US or other eBay sites?

Press the Settings button and select your eBay country at the top of the screen.

The items I'm being shown are all correctly spelled!

This can be one of following problems:

  • Sometimes the item might often be listed with an extra space, e.g. 'bedside' and 'bed side'. In this case, turn the 'Ignore extra spaces' switch on.
  • Try to use the singular of the word, rather than the plural. For example, use 'golf club', not 'golf clubs'
  • One of the misspellings of the item might happen to be a valid word. For example, misspellings of 'suite' matches the words 'site' and 'suit'. If you want to prevent these words, use the following in the search box: suite -site -suit.

Having any other problems? New idea or an improvement in mind? Or just want to let me know you think FatFingers is great?
