Moosemaniac, you wrote "Now I do use only one or two words in my search, but when I look for landscape professional and the seller spells it lanscape perfessional I just can't find the darned auction."

I can see one problem right away. You're searching for complete words. Did you know you can substitute an asterisk (*) for a group of letters? For example, you could search for lan* pro* and that would pick up "landscape professionals." But try cutting your search down to just lan* and see what you get. I think you could narrow your results down further by using excluders that are based on things you don't want that appear as a result of your search.

Tell ya what -- I'm going over to eBay right now and see whether I can formulate something that'll work for you. Watch this space for further developments.
