I'm trying to list a cookie jar and keep getting the following error message :
It looks like there's a problem with this listing.
I'm listing an actual COOKIE JAR!
I was able to leave this non-allowable word in the title, but had to remove it from the entire description.
Sheesh!

You can't start a sentence with Cookie if you have a sentence before it.
It's reading .cookie
You can say... The cookie jar

Probably just another one of the countless glitches on this site.

I looked at your listing and you have the word cookie written twice in the description.

Wow! That is even more insane than not being able to list a pair of Nike Air Jordan Sneakers as Nike Air Jordan Sneakers unless you remove Nike from the title.
Whoever is responsible for these buggy filters needs fired (preferably out of a cannon), since they can't seem to be able to competently perform what should be a simple elementary task.

AI is supposed to stand for artificial intelligence. On eBay it stands for artificial idiocy.

Try a different browser.

Artificial Intelligence is only as good as the Real Intelligence behind it.

It's interesting that both terms are also computer related terms, a cookie you know, and a .jar is a file extension used with Java applications.

It thinks it's reading Javascript.

There are thousands of listings for cookie jars. Double-check the spacing around your punctuation. Make sure that each period has a space after it and no space before it. Likewise, around parentheses you want a space before open paren and after close.

I don't think that was coincidence though. Just another example of why you don't let the nerds do the naming. I'm looking at you GIMP. 😄

You need to keep the period out, before the word Cookie. The system is reading the text as Java.

That's exactly it. There are 2 places in the listing where it looks like the OP would have run into that issue and was able to list by eliminating the word Cookie. (They wrote company. Jar and box. Jar) The alternative would be to do what you wrote above and say The cookie jar.

Thanks @lintbrush*
That was the solution! Being former IT, I should have figured that out. By adding "The" before "cookie" I was able to add it back into the description.
Appreciate your help with this "glich".
