has ebay really given permission to seller to post their items on its official corporate facebook page to promote them?

You are waaaaay ahead of yourself.
Concentrate on immediate details like spelling (It's 'brooch' not broach*)
And you can't ship that car for $1.99. Selling it for 30 cents (don't expect to get two reasonable bids) with incorrect shipping cost is an excellent way to lose money.
And bottom feeders **are really nasty customers. Seriously horrible to deal with.
*But that's such a common mistake that you could add the wrong spelling at the end of the title for others to find in Search. Make sure the correct spelling is there and there first. Bad spelling is scam bait.
** If you got only one bid, the customer 'might' have bid a reasonable price, and you would never know. Always start at a price you are comfortable selling at.

Like the boards.
Like the webinars I keep posting.
Like the Help Pages.
This will tell you what you need to learn. The rest is noise.

They’re both words that mean different things but sound the same. Homonyms.

Use a (paper) dictionary.
The online ones are crowd sourced, and much less reliable.

Nope.
More complicated than that.
Yes, spelling can be part of a scam.
Some cheapskate canny buyers will look for misspellings because they get less attention than properly spelled ones.
And because there is a good chance that the seller is ignorant of what he has, or naive.
Any of which leads to lower prices.
But in the KrOft/Kraft example, the seller is purposely scamming the naive or poorly educated buyer into thinking he is getting something he won't.
Using both in a title, which I do from time to time, allows buyers who are a little vague on spelling to find your item while telling bottomfeeders that you didn't fall off the turnip truck yesterday.
My purposeful misspellings are Heinlein/Hienlien and Tolkien/Tolkein. I actually am not to sure which of the latter is correct.
