Google Base Feeder Support Thread [OLD]

[fusionsp]

So Im not sure if this has happened to anyone else but Googlebase changed their site. I have it set to alert me if anything does not get completely processed when it grabs my file and this week I didnt get one. So when i went back to their site, they basically deleted my .xml file and made me create everything else again??

And now their directing ppl to use google merchant center? Is this in any way going to affect the feed file that is created? Has anyone else noticed this yet?

OK...i found my product listings and yes, they were all on the new google merchant center pages. Its nice of them to at least inform users that hey, you dont have to redo anything we just moved it.

This is what they have on their site...

Is Google Merchant Center replacing Google Base?

No, Google Merchant Center is not replacing Google Base. We're just moving the Google Base users that upload or manage Product listings to our new service, Google Merchant Center, in order to better serve them going forward. All Google Base users that upload or manage other item types can continue to use Google Base.

Where should I upload real estate, jobs and vehicles from now on? Aren't these products as well?

Please continue to upload or manage these items in Google Base, as nothing changes for you or these verticals. While some of these items might be considered products in a broader sense, because they don't follow the Products Feed Specification, they're not considered Product listings for Google.

I am an existing Google Base user, where should I upload my items from now on?

If you upload or manage Product listings, please visit Google Merchant Center. If you upload or manage other types of items, please visit Google Base. If you have both types of items (Product listings and non-Product listings), you'll need to visit Google Merchant Center to manage your Product listings and Google Base to manage the rest.
