Has there been a change?
As some of you know, I import my listings from another site's lister.
They allow more characters in the title and very occasionally I exceed the 80 character limit on Ebid.
In the past, when it happened, sales have been listed, with the end of the title "cut off".
It happened to me today and the upload log showed a failed item - reason "title has to be between 3 and 80 characters"
