I know this might be like teaching Grandma to suck eggs for some of you, but if you new to Ebay than it might help.
Reading a post made by Deborah about her Espadrill and then following correction to the spelling, made me remember what I had read in a book about selling on Ebay so I will pass this onto you ,
This book suggested that it could be good practice:- To include miss spelling of the item to be sold because not every one are good spellers or typos can happen when potential buyer are searching.
On a personal note I often sell to countries where English is not the first language and receive orders for items that are spelt phaneticlly,I never mind that because they can speak at lest two languages which is one more than me!
Another thing I have realized over the years is how the same item can be called by different name in the UK / USA. An example which is fashion related which had me foxed for a while are "pumps" for me it the UK pumps are shoes worn by boys and girls in the school gymnasium, In the US I think pumps refer to ladies court shoes!
I have to say I do not know how you include alternative spelling in the description without making look like you cannot spell yourself , and it make the whole job of writing the description longer but it might bring in more bids for you items, A small experiment might be worth trying at first to see if it make any difference.
Just some things i have read or worked out have come up with their must be many more good tips to pass around .
All the best Paul.
