Yet another query about Google Products, I'm afraid!

[bykimbo]

Can anybody see why this http://uk.ebid.net/perl/auction.cgi?...595&mo=auction isn't appearing on Google Products? Or am I missing it in the search?

I've checked I'm looking at the UK site, it's got a Buy Now price, it's on for several days... what have I missed?

Thanks!

Probably nothing. I have one listing http://uk.ebid.net/perl/auction.cgi?...763&mo=auction that never appears on Google Products (GP) - I believe because eBid, for some reason, does not submit it.

They did manually submit it once after I contacted support about it - but gave no explanation as to why it was being ignored.

As soon as it relisted it vanished from GP again and I couldn't be bothered chasing admin each time - so learned to ignore it.

I may be wrong, but it might be that eBid hasn't yet uploaded items to google

What items, since when?

Haven't a clue how it works but it seems random. When I listed 5 beaded handbags, one went to google in 16 minutes, the other showed up next day. Sometimes items are not there, then they pop in.

ebid appears to download almost continually, but google might be showing our stuff on a rotation because it has like 50 million items? But if even one of our items shows, that leads buyers to our other items so maybe not considered as important to get everything up all the time?

If an item never shows up, maybe something in title triggers ebid and google to pass it by? Its an automatic system, could there be caps or dashes or something like that? Or whole categories get skipped?
