Five ways AI-written listings go wrong — and how to catch them

The single biggest risk. If the copy mentions a material, measurement, certification or origin you did not supply, delete it. A listing that promises 100% organic cotton when it is a blend is a refund and a policy violation, not a typo.

Etsy tags are 20 characters. eBay titles are 80. Amazon titles are 200. Copy that overflows gets silently truncated at an ugly point or rejected outright. Count before you paste.

If your description could belong to any seller in your category, it will not convert. Add one specific, human sentence — how you make it, why you started, what customers say.

AI likes to repeat the main phrase in every line. Marketplaces index a term once. Repetition costs you the chance to rank for a second phrase.

Health, safety, income and 'best' claims are the fastest route to a suppressed listing. Strip them.
