Hello - some Newbie questions, if someone could help please!...
I am just putting together my first listing and I am keen to ensure I don't fall foul of Google's rules for having them include the item. I have been reading up on the excellent eBid FAQs, and now also on what Google say here:
https://support.google.com/merchants..._topic=2701481
1) Under their heading 'Punctuations and Symbols' they say they won't allow bullet points. Really?! Does anyone know for sure that listings with bullet points are rejected by Google?
2) Under their heading 'Relevance, Clarity and Accuracy' they say: "Product listings shouldn't include additional details about free shipping, billing information, promotions, stock information or your store's policies". Does that mean that I should not include a section in my actual listing referring to my postage or returns policy, or details about payment options etc? I could cover some of those things in my 'About Me' page, but sometimes there could be specifics that I need to state in the individual item listing.
3) Under their heading 'Images' they say: "Google Shopping doesn't allow product listings with images containing promotional messages, including watermarks or promotional text...". So if I wanted to include my own photos in a listing I cannot use a watermark (of my company name) to protect them for copyright? Or is there another way around this?
I'd be most grateful for any help or advice on these points, and to hear of anyone's experience of these issues with Google.
Thank you very much!
