Ebay ethics - bidding on misspelled items.

PORCHE PORSHE PORSH When searched on Ebay they all yield Porsche parts and accessories.

Is it wrong to bid on these items? They CAN be found when browsing using the menus, but will never be found by using correctly spelled search terms.

Just wondering as I wait for my $.99 Porche Bear to arrive.

I see nothing wrong with your method. If the seller can't spell, it's not your fault.

What could possibly be wrong? I have a friend who makes checking misspelled Porsche items one of his routines when checking out Ebay.

Nope, it's all good. My dad nearly got a Really Good Deal on a genuine Schneider-Kreuznach lens that way.

Lee - Make sure you post a pic of you and the bear after you receive it

You may have to settle for one of Ferdi with my daughter. I showed here the pic and said it was going to be "Daddy's bear," but she's not buying into that idea.
