Goofbid returns 87 results for scalextric, with a variety of misspellings:Īnd now it’s time to see how useful this search tool is! What I’m now going to do is head to eBay itself, and search for “scalextric” again, sorting for Auctions and Ending Soonest. Let’s test out my theory using Goofbid!Īll I do is go to the homepage, type in “scalextric” (remember, you should spell it correctly!) under the eBay Misspelling Search box, and click enter: There is a big market for these products on eBay, and the brand name in itself is actually quite hard to spell. I think it’s most effective for specific products that are often misspelled. These sites usually fail to mention that eBay’s search algorithm does of course account for misspellings! So it doesn’t mean that because I didn’t write Samsung correctly nobody will see my listing.ĭon’t get me wrong, I do see some value in this tactic, it’s just not the easy goldmine that a lot of people make it out to be. The logic here is simple – if I list a Samsung tablet but write “Samsong” in my listing title then less people will see the listing less people will bid on it it will sell for a lower price. Basically the idea is to find listings with a misspelled title. You see a lot of these tools online, with whole sites dedicated solely to it. The one thing that I’d like to see added is a grouping feature, so that you can set snipes for multiple items that all are cancelled as soon as one wins. Goofbid themselves describe it as being “simple, effective and reliable” and I’m happy to report that they’re right on all counts! This is of course the sniper tool that we’ve already reviewed. As I mentioned earlier, they are split into two categories – eBay Search Tools and eBay Buyer Tools: eBay Search Tools
#Goofbid or gixen how to#
Sounds perfect for anybody using my Used Goods Concept to get started on eBay with a small budget or for anyone using my system on How to Become a Top-rated Seller in 30 Days.Īnd that’s exactly why I am now doing a full review of Goofbid, to find out if these really are tools that will allow you to “bag a bargain” or is it all simply a waste of time?Īs there are a number of tools on Goofbid, I think the easiest/best way it to just go through them one by one. It’s actually a site that contains a number of Buyer Tools and Search Tools that are supposed to help you uncover bargains on eBay… bargains that you can re-sell for some easy profit! Impressive!Īnd in that article I mentioned how Goofbid isn’t just a sniper tool. Goofbid actually performed very well in the sniper test, pretty much tying with Gixen, both of which easily beat out the paid option. And one of the contestants in that “competition” was Goofbid. A couple of weeks ago I posted an eBay Sniper Showdown, where we pitted three different online snipers against each other (you can find that here if you missed it).
