Answer 1

To close the question: (comment to answer) with a few additional notes.

It's probably the ampersands & in your descriptions Purple & Pink Pumpkin Tutu Dress etc. causing the problem.

Try and use the word and instead.

PayPal is interpreting the ampersands as an additional expression.

You probably could get away and use & instead if you really want the ampersands to appear as & in the descriptions.
