Title Format all messed up if you add a size in the title! What a mess!!

All of my titles that used a size such as 58" X 3.5" has changed to photo below!

This is a mess!  Tried a new listing and it does the same thing.  Checked older listings and they have all changed.  Checked other sellers and it's the same.

Try to take out the punctuation marks.  Buyers will know what 34 by 3.5 means.

@toysaver  I can do that but it's a bunch of listings and it's crazy to have to do that.  It's been fine up until now.  I just wish they would leave stuff alone sometimes.

IMO they are trying to optimize search engine results for both you and them.   It could just be temporary as they address the issue.  The internet is alive and breathing and always changing.   If punctuation can screw up search engines they will work on the software to overcome the obstacle.

A lot of sellers use the ".  Thankfully I have less than 500 listings if I have to go through all of them to change it.  Can't imagine some of the sellers who have 1,000's of listings.  I'm going to wait a bit before changing them to see if they get it fixed before spending the time to do it.

It appears that eBay has fixed this issue.  Mine are all back to normal tonight.
