Special Characters in Title

Your title contains special characters, symbols, or HTML tags that Amazon does not allow. This can cause listing errors or suppression.

Why this happens

Copying and pasting from Word documents, spreadsheets, or supplier data that contain smart quotes, copyright symbols, or formatting characters.

How to fix it

Remove all special characters, HTML tags, and symbols from your title. Allowed punctuation includes hyphens, commas, periods, and ampersands only. No quotation marks, exclamation points, or trademark symbols.

How to prevent it

Use plain text when writing titles. Strip formatting when pasting from any external source.
