I’m guessing that the correct spelling is somehow generated from the misspellings, so it includes the results include the proper spelling as well. I guess it happens with some words and other words it does not.
To get around this, just add the correct spelling in the “Exclude these words” field and make sure you select the box next to it.
I just tried it with “autograph” and there were 66 results.
“and sometimes the word autograph wont even be in the title.”
From what I understand, when you do a search on eBay, eBay also searches the “Item Specifics” section of an item listing. So, your keyword may not be in the title but rather in the “Item Specifics” section.
Thanks
