    Default Anyone any suggestions...

    ... why this listing (http://uk.ebid.net/for-sale/watch-wi...s-39108454.htm) refuses to upload to Google Products?

    It would be pretty obscure, but do you have any successfully loaded that use commas? I've never used them in titles, so don't know how Google feels about them. It was the only (extremely tenuous) thing I could think of - everything looks fine to me.

    Yes, I have others with commas in the title (plus colons, semicolons, dashes, full stops) with no problem.

    This listing did start off as a YDC listing and so was a Bid only listing originally. Adding the Buy price did not create the upload. Even closing the listing and reposting does not help.

    I used to have a similar problem with a cigarette case which would never upload and I had to upload it manually via Google Base (back when you still could) or ask support to force it.

    I'll try editing the title (though not sure how else to describe the item) and see if that has any effect.

    SIdenote: Don't like the current font in this editor; the characters look too close together.

    I rarely use Google Products but think I've heard uppercase letters can gum up things. Would the few you had, BBC TV VHS, be enough to prevent your listing from being eligible?

    That's Google Search and not Google Products.

    Google does say not all caps - but also says that correct usage of language is required. BBC, VHS, TV, etc. are correctly capitalised.

    eBid prevents an all caps upload to Google and alters the title (badly) to conform if there is too great a fun of caps.

    I tried altering the title to exactly match one already on GP listed on eBay - no joy. Have now reshuffled the title and waiting to see if it appears. Got a feeling it will not.

    The sale length is showing less than 3 days or has it been closed early

    That perked up my ears, so to speak. I wonder if identical titles, from different sellers and venues, boggled google's mind. But, Shirley, that duplication occurs frequently?
