Google Notices Are Arriving In Sellers Email Inboxes

Well, it is now official. The emails are arriving in sellers inboxes regarding the upcoming change with Google Base Feeds.

We reveived our email notice from Google just a few moments ago becuase we sell on more than one venue. Only one site that we sell on does not have automatic Google Base feeds yet. That site is Bonanzle.

Yesterday, Bill Harding blogged that Bonanzle is thrilled with this new change. He also stated that they should have the feeds created, up-to-date and in compliance within 2 to 4 weeks.

Here is a copy of the email:

Hello,

We're happy to let you know that as of September 3rd, individual sellers on marketplaces no longer need to submit feeds to Google Product Search. Going forward, marketplaces will be responsible for submitting a feed of all their sellers' items, so we will be retiring your account to avoid duplicate entries on Product Search. Bonanzle will also be responsible for ensuring that your feeds are up-to-date and compliant with our policies.

In most cases, marketplaces already submit feeds of their sellers' items. If you have any further questions about your items or Google Product Search, please contact Bonanzle. We look forward to continuing to display your products, and hope you enjoy the new streamlined submission process.

Sincerely,

The Google Team

Bonanzle Embraces Goolge Base Changes

Bonanzle founder, Bill Harding states that he is delighted with the Google Base change that allows multi-seller marketplaces to manage the feeds for all of their sellers.

Before this change, Bonanzle sellers had to upload their own feeds to Google Base. While Bonanzle support is / was always available to assist sellers who had trouble following the detailed instructions provided by the site, it was one of the most difficult selling details to deal with for many.
