All you eBay junkies out there. Yeah! You with the mouse happily clicking away in eBay auctions! How would you like to save some money buying stuff off eBay? Here’s what I found on the Internet.

There is a site called ListedWrong.com which allows you to search for what you want but with a twist. The search is based on common misspelled words so that you can capitalise on eBay auctions listed wrong. In order not to start confusing you, here’s an example of how I use this site to save some money.

First off, I searched using a keyword called ‘wireless‘. ListedWrong.com will then fetch all results from eBay based on mispelt words for ‘wireless‘ (see below image).

The results that caught myeyes was the Motorola Bluetooth Headset HS820. Note that the original seller has entered the misspelled word ‘wirless‘ instead of ‘wireless‘. Clicking on the link will open the actual eBay page (see below).

Total cost for the Motorola Bluetooth is currently at $15.00 (including shipping). Notice that there is still zero bids on the product. As a comparison, I searched for a similar item using eBay’s engine. I found an exact product (also in the USA) but it had 4 bids and total cost come to $33.45 (plus shipping). That’s a difference of $18.45!!

You have just saved $18.45 simply by using ListedWrong.com’s search engine. Because sellers misspelt the product descriptions or titles, they lose out on exposure and eBay’s search engine match. Therefore, less views equals to less bids equals to savings for the wise. Head on to ListedWrong.com and give it a try.

Great news for webmasters! A new forum is in town; dedicated to stalking out expired domains with traffic and resell hard found treasures to the market. You will realise that SiteSales is going to be a great buddy because everyday, about 1 million domain names expires. Imagine you yourself sifting through that 1 million domain names in search for quality expired domain names.

Some webmasters prefer brand new domain names but expired domain names have their good point too; that they already have backlinks and maybe some traffic if you are lucky. Some of these domain names may also be brandable and some have low to mid PRs.

Our goal here at sitesales.info is to constantly monitor dropped domains and scout out those that are already (sic) established and register them. We then sell them back to potential or established webmasters, based on their stats at the time of the sale. You will find that our prices are very low compared to what you are getting, though in some instances we might feature some super premium domains selling at slightly (sic) higher prices. ~ SiteSales.info

Since SiteSales is new, they are offering a free PR5 domain. Yes, you heard it right; a FREE PR5 domain. Now, go get your treasures.

I’ve got a couple of emails asking me how to change the iPod owner’s name. At first, I thought that it is kind of weird that anyone would want to change their iPod names; until I realised that there are instances where pre-owned iPods were purchased or a spelling mistake happened or for whatever outrageous reasons.

For my beloved iPod, I have named it Juicy Boxy. However, for this post, I’ve changed it to Jim’s iPod strictly for demonstration purposes. Assume that Jim was the original owner that sold his iPod to Amos. The new owner would therefore, want his name displayed on the iPod (in this instance, Amos’ iPod).

To start things off, you will need to start iTunes with the iPod attached. You will notice that iTunes will display Jim’s iPod; showing the original owner. Using your mouse, highlight the device as shown below:

After highlighting the device, wait for a couple of seconds, then click on the device name again (be careful not to click too fast as your computer may interpret it as a double-click). You will now notice that your iPod owner’s name is now in edit mode. Key in the desired name and press the Enter key.

Voila…. You are now officially the proud owner of the iPod. Do this as many times as you want until you found the perfect name for your iPod. In my case, Juicy Boxy.
