I have a neat old papier mache thing i want to list, but when i enter the 'search' spelling it correctly, i don't get NEARLY as many listings as when i misspell it 'paper' ... guess i'll go with the rest of the herd.
mooooooo.

How about listing it as papier/paper mache? This way both terms are in title. Git along little doggie!

It should, but you can leave out the slash mark too.

i always try to use any different spellings i can think of for an item, either in the title or the description. you have all your bases covered that way.

That's always a problem when I go to list a tea pot. Or is it teapot?

i know exactly what you mean, sparkz ... teapot, tea pot ... tea pot 4,400 listings; 10,600 listings. {presently}
........
well, i had a lot of other neat keywords i wanted to use in title, so i used 'paper' in title, and papier in the subtitle .... i know, i know, it's not going to get some of the searchers, but ... i'm following the bigger herd... lol ...mooooo....

Where I really ran into problems was on listing omelet pans. You can find them listed as "omlet" "omelet" or "omelette" pans. I usually go with the third spelling in the title and the other two in the description. It was so confusing, that I quit selling those and started selling ash trays instead. Or is it ashtrays?

Rich - may get more comfusing - where is your paper mache thing from? There are Mexican paper mache "things" with a whole different name and classification.

If it's really "common" sense, why do so few people actually have it?

"so i used 'paper' in title, and papier in the subtitle ......save your 50 cents - subtitles do not come up in title searches - just in title & descriptions.
I have the same issues with "postcard" / "post card" - i put them both in every description
