Write a clear, accurate eBay listing title

An eBay title should identify the actual item in words a buyer can recognize. Use the available characters for verified product details, then complete the category and item specifics separately in eBay.

Direct answer

How long can an eBay listing title be?

eBay’s developer guide lists an 80-character maximum for Item.Title. Treat 80 as a ceiling, not a reason to add filler, and check the final text in the listing form.

Actionable checks

What to do next

Start with the product type so the title says what the item is.
Add only verified differentiators such as brand, model, size, or pack count when they match the item.
Remove repeated words, unsupported compatibility claims, and promotional phrases that do not identify the product.
Count the final title, then choose the correct eBay category and fill its suggested item specifics in Seller Hub.

Illustrative example

Fictional product title

Northwind insulated water bottle, 24 oz, blue

Illustrative only. “Northwind,” the size, and color are fictional and must not be copied as facts about a real item.

Destination-specific omissions

What this field does not provide

A title cannot replace eBay category selection, condition, required item specifics, identifiers, quantity, shipping, or returns. TabBridge does not fill or submit those fields for you.
