Why is my google feed disabled?

Having an account on here has been beyond frustrating. Started up several weeks ago and was adding inventory. Made a few sales here and there. I ended up putting the booth on vacation mode for a few days while I was away and ever since my items have not been on Google Shopping!

First it was not updating/uploading. I ended up adding more stuff and now the Google feed reads “disabled”. What could have possibly triggered this? Seems that using this site is like building a house of cards. One false move and everything is ruined.

How do I re-enable my feed?

Go to Edit Booth Options

4th item down

Add my items to Google Shopping

Click on Yes….

I would also go to My Bonanza Page
Advanced Selling tools ( in the middle of the page)
click on
Run Feed Diagnostics

Click on Initiate a feed status review

Also, make sure you have activated the advertising option to send items to google

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Note that the first 250 characters go to google shopping (GPS) as part of the description of your items. This first part of your item description should only contain details about the item (good strong descriptive words in sentence form)…anything else (shipping, condition are an attributes, not a description and should be after the first 250 characters, boiler plate information..ON Sale..etc) is grounds for google to disable your feed…

Do make sure your attributes are entered

Your Item descriptions are a bit on the skimpy side..and if your feed was not disabled by you (whether by accident or not) then it could have been disabled by google (hence the feed diagnostic)

This is interesting since that is what happened to me over a year ago. I can’t get it to activate Google ever since no matter what I try. I just figured that since I was not willing to pay for advertising (other than the minimum they charge here) that is why they wouldn’t send to Google. So I just deactivated it altogether and have basically moved on. I still have items in my booths but rarely make a sale.

don’t know why my posts keep doubling…Since google requires payment…bonz pays and they are ‘reimbursed’ when your sells..if never sells, you don’t pay, but somebody paid to put it in google in the first place

Same with me Catnutti. Support never answered me on this and so I rely on EBay now.
