We're still working on it. Shouldnt be too long now.

Can you let me know the problems you have with eBid uploading your auctions to Google, it seems you aren't happy with this, can we improve it at all?

There are several reasons and some of it is out of your control.
1) The Google feedback issued. http://helpdesk.ebid.net/showthread.php?t=103610
2) Right now, ebid only upload products that have a lifetime of at least 7 days remaining or are Run Until Sold when we make the upload to Google. If I use Run Until Sold options, I have to be deleting the whole inventory every few days and re-upload all product since ebid does not have bulk update. I spend the whole last Sunday afternoon re-uploading. And if I do not use Run Until Sold or at least, it will exclude my inventory.
3) I can add more Google attributes that are specific to my products. According to Google, the more attributes, the better chance of getting higher ranking. For example, UPC or EAN is recommended for CD or DVD.
4) I will have a Google Checkout badge next to my listings
5) I will have more control on when to upload. And I can upload all of my products.

I may be mistaken, but I think we have news. See site update.

Mine doesn't work with Google - is it because my auctions are BuyNows +3 days?

Yes yours won't have qualified for the google upload in the first place. there's a few posts with the criteria on, from memory it's items that have a BIN in place and over 7 days to run when the uploads take place. Uploads happen on the 3rd, 8th, 13th, 18th, 23rd and 28th of the month.
