Google policy & ebay upload

Is it still a Google policy not to have duplicates?

So when I upload from ebay should I be changing the titles?

Thanks.

Google Shopping does not permit duplicate listings – see below. That doesn’t stop people doing it, and sometimes multiples are there, but it is REALLY annoying to buyers, to see the same seller, with the same item, listed over and over and over. So, the rule is, one item, one listing, period.

What’s the policy?

Google Shopping doesn’t allow the promotion of duplicate and borrowed content.

Merchants can only submit content which is their own or which they represent.

One listing per product, regardless of whether they own multiple websites or not

Thank you…for some reason I could not find that link earlier, and I knew I saw it…

Duplicate content is still an issue with google, content on the same site, meaning repeating the same thing over and over…

I see more and more duplicate listings now that the pay to play option now (having to pay to be in GPS) and do not know if google is doing anything about it anymore, since now they get paid for it…

In all of the information and help pages, I only see info on duplicate content, but cannot find specific information on duplicate listings (unless the listings are on the same site…)

[URL removed] I see book has the link.
