I am not seeing any of my listings in Google Shopping

[Schwenk]

I have been reading through this but can not find any of my products on Google. Neither store is shown and no products are listed. I have the setting so it should show.

What do I need to do in order to make this work?

Thx

I chose one of yours at random and fed it into Google shopping, and it was 4th on the list returned.

Is it possible you're confusing google search with google shopping and looking in the wrong place?

Found them now too. I tried the combination of eBid and my store name and could not find anything. Must have been too late last night.

Thanks for the quick answer. Much appreciated.

Sorry to resurrect this ancient thread, but I'm having this problem as well. All my listings are BIN. I'm listing UPC# whenever possible, or brand name, at the very least... but nada. I must be doing SOMETHING wrong, right?

When I search "ebid + zombiman" in GS, only 3 auctions come up. Something is wonky...

Hopefully it's right in front of me and I just need the solution pointed out. If someone could direct me to a thread where this might be addressed further, I would appreciate it. Thanks!

Make sure you have UPIs added or have your eBid Store/Username exempted , Google are getting pretty hot on these now.

Thanks for the super-fast reply, Gazza.

I've filed for exemption 4 or 5 times now with Google, but so far it hasn't taken. Maybe the sixth times the charm.

Maybe I should start digging up the UPCs for my loose toy listings? That seems a bit overkill, but maybe it would do the trick... ?

If you are wanting a store exempted, I believe Google will reject it if you have mixed listings with BIN/UPCs and those that don't plus other (antiques) items.

You need to read the exceptions list.

Thanks, JE. After some more digging, it looks like Gazza has covered this before (probably many times ) -

Gaaa... this is going to be a pain to separate out. But at least I have my solution.

Thanks for the help, guys!

It might be easier if you create another store and transfer all the exempted items in there and use your other store for all the IBN/UPC stuff.

I have a store that is mixed but I don't want to create a 6th store so I just didn't ask for exemption. All my other stores are exempted.

Just an update... my saga continues.

I made a new store, to separate my new items (those with UPC numbers) from the used (those without). When I have time I'm *slowly* migrating auctions from the original store to the new, and I've been occasionally spot checking Google Shopping to see if anything changes. Something HAS changed, but towards the negative.

As I stated before, when I started this process I would search "ebid + zombiman" in GS and only three auctions would show, none of which were in my mixed item store. Some days ago I checked and I was down to one auction showing, and today I checked only to receive the big goose egg. I'm afraid if I continue down this path that Google will actively start deleting my auctions from eBid itself.

Anyway, in earnest I will continue the sorting process and once I'm done I will attempt to file for exemption on my Used store again. Hopefully that will "reboot" something and my new listings will finally start to show in GS. I haven't given up hope... yet.
