Google Base datafeeds dissaproved

[skinnybloke]

Hi - I have been uploading products to Google Base for the last couple of months and they have been displayed on the Google Base pages. I've now noticed that my datafeeds are being dissaproved. Reviewing their help page I can only assume it is because of the following:

You must be able to ship your products throughout the United States.
All items for sale, and any landing pages for these items, must list prices in US dollars.

My prices are NOT in US dollars and I do not ship in the US.

Has anybody else been in this situation where their datafeeds were being shown but are not anymore? Is this a change in Google Base policy?

I have also been using GBase. It seems it is primarily for US based businesses or at least those who wish to sell into the US. I've never had a referral that I know of though. IIRC there was talk about them extending the service into Europe sometime in the future.

Froogle has started to list categories, this info can only be coming from googlebase in my humble opinion.

It does seem that the feeds are currently intended for USA based companies, mine are still being approved - we do ship to the USA though.

I tried a few bulk uploads to GoogleBase and also had my feed disapproved on the basis of currency (all of my items are in GBP and I do not ship internationally).

After a couple of months of my feeds being fine Google have decided that they won't list them any more as the prices are in GBP, hopefully they will roll it out in the UK soon. I use the referrer link in my feed and can confirm that my Google Base links were appearing in Froogle too (until they started rejecting it anyway).

Google Base has now replaced Froogle. For the first time I finally magaged to upload a bulk file successfully last week. This morning, however, I find that nearly 3000 of my items have been disallowed. I can't seem to find a reason for this, anyone else having this problem?

Is there not status information available on your GoogleBase account page?

I've just bulk uploaded my latest file with 5608 items which is showing zero errors as it did before. Active items has changed from 13 to 2950 whilst inactive items has changed from 2987 to 50. GoogleBase seems only able to handle 3000 items
