OK, so my google shopping feed is disabled and apparently has been for a while. My fault for not checking. I sent a note to Bonanza to see about getting this fixed.
What I did learn by digging around the questions and answers here will be useful to others so allow me to share. It seems google has some wierd rules in place regarding tobacco releated items. That includes my vintage cup with a pipe on it and my cigarette holders, as well as a Fontanini Bag PIPEr of mine.
When you list, go to batch editor and pick ‘search optimize’ then scroll down and have a look at your listings. You might be surprised at what comes up as restricted. I guess too many of those and google kicks you out.
Anywho, I fixed my offending listings (lol). I now have a bag piper who is a music player and a cigarette holder that is just a holder. Hopefully, my listings will be restored soon.
Anybody who has had this happen…how long does it take to get your listings back in business?

Hm yeah, my Google feeds are also disabled – it seems since eons.
This all is so … just annoying.
Word is that it’ll take forever – if at all – to be reinstated.

I have heard of some saying that it took quite a bit of time and after several requests. I think you should email bonz, to see if they will be asking for the feed to be re-instated

Also, you can actually, suppress certain items from going in the feed which might be better than miss representing them (which could your disable your feed again) , and depend on organic search, tweets, pins and whatever. I believe most searching for antique/vintage items are not going to go to the ‘shopping’ listings anyway.
By the way, I had one item restricted, a Star Trek Orion Slave Girl action figure…(Restricted for dealing in human slavery)….

Thanks for all the above info. Mine has not been updated since 4/25. I thought it was because I’m not paying any money. I don’t know what’s going on here anymore.

Should I post a comment or an answer?
You can only post one answer, so make it count. Maybe your reply is more fitting as a comment instead?
Post an answer for:
- Replies that directly and specifically answer the original question
Post a comment for:
- "Thanks," "Me too," "I agree," or "Works for me" types of replies
- When you would like the original poster to provide more details
- When you have more to add to someone else's question or answer
