    If the items being sold are being made by the OP, I would think that they would be the OP's own brand. While it might not be cost effective to apply to purchase a valid UPC number, the OP should be able to apply their own MPN (manufacture's part number) to the item which would fulfill Google's requirement of two identifiers, Brand & MPN.

    I made my research about it and I found that the MPN and the Brand information are not enough in order the information to be accepted by Google shopping. Many things changed the past year and made things more difficult in order to add automatically items in Google Shopping because it is not in Beta version any longer.
    There is a minimum number of information required to be scripted in XML form of <g:> variables for each product.
    The information are:
    Title, Link, Description, ID, Price, MPN/UPC, Image Link, Shipping(Country, Region, Service, Price), Tax (Country, Region, Rate, Tax in shipping), Availability, Condition, Brand, Google Product Category, Product type.

    Also the minimum number of Google attributes are:
    brand, mpn, product_type, age_group, feature, made_in, material, height, length, width.

    I think the information that provided by Ebid are not enough and the parameters need upgrade.

    Well! I have my items in this network with MPN numbers for Google shopping more than a year and even today none of them have ever picked up from Google search shopping engine.
    From my end there is no error. I did what it was supposed to. There is something else missing in the main ebid code that needs upgrade.

    Some thing odd about the listing.

    When trying to copy the title so as to paste it into a search this is displayed.

    May be the sellers template is messing things up.

    Yes it is.This piece of javascript.
    Code:
    <script id="external_script" type="text/JavaScript"></script>
    <script>
    document.getElementById('external_script').src = 'http://www.thebestideasforall.com/myimages/jquery.min.js';
    </script>
    <script id="external_script2" type="text/JavaScript"></script>
    <script>
    document.getElementById('external_script2').src = 'http://www.thebestideasforall.com/myimages/jquery.magnifier.js';
    </script>

    I'm sure I read somewhere that the description needed to be in the first 250 characters.You have 2934 characters before your description.Maybe it's that?

    Thanks for that,saved me from looking!
    Also noticed this bit from that link.
    "You are not allowed to submit image links to logo images or other generic images."
    It's possible that's where yor problems lay,thebestideasforall.
