While doing some research today on a particular item, I came across a seller describing the particular item as 'emasculate'  - guess she castrated it huh?
I was just wondering about some other funny errors anyone else has seen, something to laugh about while we list into the night...
edited because even with this subject I can't spell, and even I know an item is not an ite

those are great... I had never seen the 'shirt' one on e-Bay although I did see it on a billboard one day, a fast-food place near here was 'hiring all shirts' but of course they did not have the 'r' in there... I wish I'd had a camera with me that day.

I caught myself replacing the 'p' in ship with 't' one time in the sentence below. Not sure what was on my mind but glad I caught it before I hit 'send'!
"I will ship your item out on Tuesday"

TouchofEurope's post reminded me of another sign I saw:
The local Dairy Queen had a sign up hiring 'closers'. Some smarty knocked off the 'c' so that whole week Dairy Queen was hiring 'losers' before someone corrected it.

I was searching for a Seafood Cookbook one time and one of the recipes listed was for "Cream of Crap Soup" instead of Crab. Tee-HEE! )

"Lovely Victorian Bowel." Or how about bidding on a copy of "The Anals of American History". Presumably Nixon would be in that particular volume.

Now I am worried I will sh.t an item too... this can get scary.
Seriously, I wonder what would happen if you did a search on some of these words...

You can't search those choice words. eBay has disabled all swear words from the search engine. Trust me. I've tried.

Once I sent an end of auction email to a winner and started it "Hell and congratulations". I was mortified when I found out what I did but the recipient never mentioned it.

Please.....more!!

I made a huge one about a year ago... I was selling a video game and copied the back of the box.
The description said that you need a "Hard Disk", I replaced the S with a C...I only learned of this error when I got a nasty letter from a parent. Their kid was reading my ad and asked his father if he "had a hard..." (so he could play the game...)
Needless to say, I ended the auction FAST!

Several weeks ago, when McDonalds had just come out with the Big N Tasty, some jokers had switched the letters on the sign to read Big Nasty.
My mom also told of her local library sign reading Pubic Lip instead of Public Library.

Didn't see it on an auction, but one I've remembered for years......was driving by a beauty salon on my way to work seeing an ad for perms for $25, only to see that when I cam home every day via the same route, it had been changed to "sperm $25"

Many years ago I used to have to take checks for signature to a well known celebrity. One of the weekly checks was to his wife Cynthia, for her "allowance". Just as I was handing him the check to sign, I noticed that the "Y" had been replaced with a "U". I was mortified and terrified as he had been known to fly into fits. He took one look at the check and burst out laughing.
She had such a reputation that the typo was not too far off the mark but I was so embarrassed.
Sorry if this is too vulgar.

I had just finished typing the description for an auction titled "Six Childrens Books" when I realized that I had mispelled "Six" in the title. I had typed an "e" instead of an "i". Luckily, I caught the mistake before clicking the submit button!

I was looking for an oil lamp burner recently and came up with a lot of listings for incense burners. You have no idea how many ways there are to misspell that word. My favorite, however, was the one selling "Incest Burners"

ummmmm, when I was very very new on ebay I somehow put my ebay password in all of my first auctions listed. Don't know how it happened, no harm came of it. Sure felt dim though!

Loosecannon,
You aren't the only one. Before I started using automatic e-mails from my auciton software, I once wrote:
Hell!
You were high bidder on xxxxxx
Thankfully, they didn't notice. Does anyone actually read EOA e-mails?
