Subtitles
On the eBay Motors marketplace, the listing title is filled in automatically by eBay for certain vehicle categories (e.g., Cars & Trucks).
Use the Item.SellerProvidedTitle field to specify a seller's personalized title that will appear on the View Item page and that can be used to differentiate the item in search results. Choose keywords that help distinguish your vehicle in search results, such as color, condition, body style, and unique options.
For Cars & Trucks, the SellerProvidedTitle is a required field.
The subtitle appears in the Item Specifics section of a listing.
