Sales or no sales that is the question

I do hope the initial Bagley edits are performed using the bulk edit facility. I think you will need just two passes to what probably achieves 90 - 95% of the Bagley edit.

Thanks for the reminder I'll have a look for it, I don't think I've used it yet (I've only been here 12 years !)

Bulk edit here is rather smart and powerful. You may need a stiff drink (from an Art Deco glass?) before starting and a good AI to steer you through it. It's the most powerful I've seen anywhere, well worth while learning.

And maybe one more after the time that it can potentially save. During the short hour I have been on the forum I made edit to 800+ items in just over ten minute interval, 1800+ last week over a 30 minute interval. Screen shot below of details on the My Bulk Edit landing page.

Bulk edit is a great piece of kit, use it a lot.

@ Johnwash.

I found the Bulk Edit easily enough but it looked a bit involved, i thought it might take me longer to get it right than it would to edit my 53 Bagley listings manually one at a time. It took me about an hour.

Before doing any editing I checked what I could see on GS by searching "art deco glass". Same as before no ebid ads. on the first 3 pages, ebid not on the Shops filter.

I also searched for "bagley glass". No ebid ads. on the first 3 pages. Ebid on the Shops list and 4 ebid ads. on the top of page Sponsored ads.

And I searched "bagley art deco glass". No ebid ads. on first 3 pages. Ebid on the Shops list and 3 ebid ads. on the top of page Sponsored ads.

I then edited all my 53 Bagley ads. to start with "Bagley Art Deco" followed by "(colour)Glass and (name) of item".

As all the Sponsored ads. that I found were un-edited. It will be interesting to see how long it takes the new version to be seen on GS, a clue as to how long GS indexing takes?

I'll check daily hoping to see some of my ads. made visible on the first 3 main pages and report back if anything changes.

I had to take a peek this morning (curiosity!!)

in Shopping , your bagley items shown have your new title order. (09:30 14/06/2025)

Noted in pages for images and All , your items I found have the previous style title. The link still works to your revised listing.

Thanks for that.

On another question I have about GS.

I have quite a few items listed made by Walther & Sohne but if I search for "walther / walther & sohne", GS tells me it can't find any matches. I think because of the connection it sees to "Walther" fire-arms ?

Yet if I search for "german art deco glass" or even an item by name but without the maker's name GS then shows items for sale that have Walther in their titles.

Consequently I sell less of their items than I would expect as they are a collectable name and sought after, especially when I have listed some unusual and rarely seen items of theirs.

Any suggestions on how to get around the apparent ban on Walther listings being shown except to buyers who know how to get around it ?

I do not think there is a work around and buyers probably do not know, so I would speak to Google, you can get to them by searching in Shopping for Walter & Sohne.

On the response page there are no items found , scroll to bottom and click Help in the grey ribbon.

On the help page forget the describe field scroll down and there is a contact button with headset (That suggest either a Bot or a person)

Ask why that famous glass manufacturer is not found when searching in shopping and is there anything they can do to influence in getting the manufacturer included. You know the items are there as

Part Frosted Green Glass "Luxor" gets one hit on Shopping.

It can't hurt but I won't hold my breath for a reply. I'd guess nothing would happen unless google gets a lot of queries on the same subject. Somehow I can't see that happening about a niche glass making company. But I will give it a try !
