Linking to Google

[HannaHolly]

If your listings have at least 7 days still to run and they are BIN or acution with BIN they get uploaded to Google. The guys do it four times a month I think, so it's extra publicity for your listings. No you don't need to have a google account though I recommend getting one and organising your self for Google Checkout, it is cheaper than Paypoo and easy for buyers.

actually it's at least six times a month. 3rd, 8th, 13th, 18th, 23rd and 28th ( not sure if i've missed any dates there?)

How do you actually list with google?

Where is the link everyone is mentioning & where would it be positioned?

Thanks!

Thanks bidnwin! I list in USA, UK, & CA. Do I need different links for each place? I'm from USA, so would it matter if I used link for UK?

I cannot see that there should be any problem, I ship anywhere in the world and that will show in the listing.
Have a look here for example:
http://www.google.com/base/a/4064294...28839000141307

Hope that helps.

You have been extremely helpful! I did go into the first link you gave me, registered for google base, and attempted to upload my file.

Went into your google base link. Nice!!! Noticed you did your via "Google Base Products. Jar opener is cool.

I tried uploading my file via ftp. Thought I could load store because I only have coins. Is this wrong approach?

Should I use Google Base - Tab Deliminated & Enter Each Auction on Spread Sheet?

I was trying to find the easiest way to do this.......

Thanks again for all your help!!!!!!!!!!!

does ebid invest in advertising their sight?
Do they put my items on google search

Can we have more than one data feed? Its telling me my file is invalid. Any idea why?? Thanks

Not sure about that as google base have separate links for their .com and .co.uk sites, whether they come together or not I could not say but personally I believe that Google are feeling their way into on-line auctions and either way it would be in their interests to tie the links together, below is the link to the .com site. They appear to be linked as it is possible to sign in from both.

I believe that you will need to enter them on the ebid xls file spreadsheet which you can download here - http://uk.six.ebid.net/spreadsheet/ebid.xls - you will need this if you use the bulk lister.

Have a look here for info' on the bulk loader:
