Any reply from eBid support?

Just reporting my items have disappeared again this evening (they were all there this morning when I checked. Booksntings says he can't find his items this evening either on the thread. Have Google put a time limit on showing eBid items or something ?! It's no wonder I haven't sold anything this month, nobody can find them !


Kind regards

Hi Becky,


We have no control of how or when Google uses the eBid data. We have advised our technical team of your report.

My reply.

Hi eBid,


That is crazy. If eBid is paying vast amounts of money for ad words to appear on Google Shopping then surely you are entitled to ask them why results are not appearing full time like Ebay, Etsy and Oxfam ? My items are back showing again on Google Shopping this morning by the way !


I still can't get :-


Becky's Hoard Books
Becky's Hoard Kitchenalia
Becky's Hoard Brocante


to come up in a general search.


Becky's Hoard Pottery & Becky's Hoard Jewellery do appear but still without the description. The information still says. The page owner blocked this page from Google in a suboptimal way, so we couldn't create a good page description. If you know the site owners, let them know that "robots.txt is blocking Google and can't create a site description in search results


To fix the page description

If you want a proper description to appear in search results for your page, you must enable Google to read the page. If you don't want the page to appear in search results at all, see the next section "Remove the page entirely from search results."
The reason Google can't read the page is that it has a special file (called robots.txt) blocking the page. Here's how to remove the blockage:

• If you are using a content management system for your website (for example, if your site is on Wix, Joomla, or Drupal), search for "robots.txt" in your host's documentation to learn how to unblock your page or site to Google.
• If you are managing your own site pages directly, learn more about robots.txt here. You'll need to unblock your site or page to Googlebot.

I just ran another test. "Mary Baker animal prints" --- somewhat rare item. I found one page, all of them listed on eBay. None of mine. I added "ebid" to the search and they still didn't appear.

Does this mean eBid isn't submitting them to google anymore?

No your Highness - I believe support answered that in post #52 above. "eBid can't control what google does with the data"
There has to be some other issue as my google searches are fine.
I presume everyone having probs, comply with the google requirements in their listings.

Something sure doesn't seem to be in order. I checked earlier today for lefton ebid and there were over 15 pages in Google Shopping and I just checked again and there is not even 1. The first page in the general search is almost full yet but nothing in shopping.

It seems to me that eBid should be getting more out of Google than they do. I may need to set my website back up.

My listings were showing this morning and at 15.00hrs when i looked again on Google
shopping at 19.00 hrs they had all disappeared again.

If I put my Stay Gold and ebid in the search then more of my items come up. Otherwise ebid doesn't even show in the list of companies.

It is frustrating. All that revising to try to comply with Google Shopping requirements. Plus, Canada was excluded for the longest time so I was pleased when I finally started finding my items on the shopping search.
