None of my items are showing on Google Shopping any more

[FortesMentum]

For a year and a half all of my listings have shown up in Google Shopping without problem.

Today I thought I'd check on things and soon discovered that not one of my listings shows up in Google Shopping. This could of course account for the dire lack of buyers.

Has anyone else noted their items no longer showing? If not, has anyone any pointers as to why I have a problem all of a sudden?

Thanks in advance everybody.

Just did a quick check.

My 6 shops all have the Google Shopping Exemptions, and do appear in UK Google Shopping results for example.

Actually, one is: http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=&q...w=1680&bih=845

Are you including the barcode/EAN/whatever in your listings? If not then Google may not accept your items unless your stores have been granted an exemption.

Thanks MPS16

Then that makes my problem all the stranger. I shall have to give this some thought, and see if anyone else is in the same boat.

Hello Astral

all my items are rare 60s vinyl so have no barcodes etc. I have no idea what this exemption is that you speak of. Has google shopping introduced new rules recently? If so, it appears that some Ebidders will have problems selling at all.

I have just looked for: Butterscotch - The Closer to You / Don't You Know 1970 - and it does not appear on Google shopping

Yes, there was (and is ongoing) a lot of discussion on the issue in forums. Have a read of http://uk.ebid.net/help_selling.php#48

I've heard you have to register for an exemption for items without barcodes to appear in Google shopping.

Best wishes for many sales to all,

Thank you all for your input

I have now tried to apply for an exemption but Google wouldn't accept my ebid store as a valid shop.

Looks like there are problems ahead.

An item of mine which did show two days ago no longer does

It has the all the 'required' information

It's beginning to look like GS just doesn't like us
