Product Titles
A product title should be complete, accurate, and concise.A clear title helps customers quickly understand what you're selling.
Include the following information:

- Product type
- Material or main ingredient (if applicable)
- Key features or characteristics (e.g., colour, function, variant)
- Quantity or volume (e.g., net weight, capacity, pack size). If multiple varieties or sizes are sold under the same listing, clearly list all available options (e.g., 100 ml / 150 ml / 200 ml).

Good Examples:
- Brand A Floral Perfume 15ml / 100ml

- Brand C Green Tea Facial Cleanser 100ml (New Packaging)
For example, "[Second-hand] Bags" and "[Second-hand] Watches"

- Seller URLs

- Branding or references to "TikTok" (without TikTok's prior authorisation), or other e-commerce platforms or websites.
- Symbols or special characters.
