Gazza, more clarification re Brands & Google Shopping please.

Here are the exemption instructions we will be posting later today if anyone wants to apply now. This is for eBid Stores. Don't forget if your item is listed in an eBid Store then exemption will be required for the Store. If your item is not listed in a Store then exemption will be required for your username (available later today)

1. Locate the GSIN number located on your "My eBid" > "My eBid Stores" page. It is in small grey text just below the "Summary" section.
2. Visit http://www.google.com/support/mercha...e_id_exemption

3. Enter your name.
4. Enter google.exemption@ebid.net as the login email address
5. You your GSIN number into the Account ID box. URL box can be ignored.
6. Enter some information as to why the items in your eBid Store do not or cannot have barcodes. Are they vintage, collectables, home made? Give an example link to some products in your Store.

1. Locate the GSIN number located on your "My eBid" > "My eBid Stores" page. It is in small grey text just below the "Summary" section.

I do not see a GSIN in the area. What do I do now?

And that is where I looked. It should be:

My eBid > My eBid Stores > Choose Store to Configure

It is with that route, I found my GSID (using the help of your image)

Where it says 3. Enter your name

Does it mean my real name or my store name? (it's my stores I want exempting)

[Naturelady]

I put in my real name. All of my stores got exemption except the bookstore. Do they no exempt bookstores? Some of the old books I have do not have ISBN #'s.

[waynemanor1953]

I also entered my real name. I reckon my bookstore was exempted due to my explaining that, although there were books in it without ISBN's, to move these to another store wasn't practical as one was a postcard store, one a record/tape store and another an Elvis memorabilia shop. Books would be out of place in any of the other stores.

[Naturelady]

I did explain it. Perhaps I should just reapply.

[meebo1]

I think I need a Help video!

[Anniemcc2]

Got exemption for my Postcard & Charity stores but not other two - will reapply for Clearing House, as that's everything but books!

[meebo1]

I am still undecided as to applying or not. (I know I am procrastinating)
