EXEMPT in barcode box

[madorcadian]

I have not listed on Ebid for a while and I was wondering if you can still put "EXEMPT" in the barcode box to still have your listing included in the Google shopping search or has this been stopped?

Stupid question but that's without the quote marks right?

That is correct.

does this have an impact on the level of traffic the listing would receive? I.e is it more beneficial to include said barcode?

For exposure on Google Shopping, If the item has a barcode then the barcode must be used.

The use of Exempt is for items which have no barcode - typically things like antiques, a good proportion of collectables and hand made goods.

If all your items are games then you will need the barcode for them to appear on Google Shopping (as long as the price is over £1). Your Final Fantasy game is a good example where you have entered the correct info and the pre-filled information comes up.

That is correct.

Thanks.

If you submit items as 'exempt' that do have product identifiers (barcodes, manufacturers' part numbers, etc) then Google could reject ALL your items, even those correctly identified; sort of blacklisted.

Please help, I have checked google shopping for mine or anyone's 78 rpm records and there are only pages from ebay, not one ebid record listed,I used to sell loads of records on ebay but had not one sniff here, what am I doing wrong, I could sped hours listing more items but would rather save my time if I'm not going to sell, even tried a shop.

The help section on selling : FAQ's no 48 gives all the rules and it mentions the overuse of capitals in your title as a possible rejection and I see you use these a lot. Why don't you try one without and double check on Google
