never use anything but numbers or letters when filling out product information…ie

isbn should be 9780439474290 no dashes or spaces and use isbn-13

upc should be 027084831191 no dashes or spaces

if you enter in batch edit should enter in this format

please note amazon shows isbn as 978-0439474290..and amazon does NOT submit to google product search

Cindy is correct.

If you have an ISBN that ends in X, Google does not want that. Go to an online converter and it will give you the correct ISBN-13 to sub for it.

I just put in the numbers, no spaces – no dashes.
A great example is to go to Amazon and see how they enter the information for books.

Hopes this helps you!
