Summary 

  Error Code 21917260 may be received when the Item.SellerProvidedTitle tag is not specified for the US or CA eBay Motors vehicle listing. 


 Detailed Description

 SellerProvidedTitle is a descriptive free-text title for a US or CA eBay Motors vehicle listing and replaces the older US and Canada eBay Motors Subtitle attribute (attribute ID 10246).
