Disapproved items in google feed

Hi,

From last couple of months whenever I relist item from the the sold item relist option it always start showing Disapproved on Google feed so i have to constantly keep deleting and than adding again the same items so that it shows up on feed, I have no clue as to why it does that as all the information required by google is correctly filled, Its very annoying to keep adding them again and again and yet they are not picked up by google feed. If anyone has faced such an issue plz help me out.
Thanks

Sometimes when you relist, it may duplicate the attributes…it is probably listing the upc twice..

When you re-list
Go to Batch edit
Search Optimize and make sure all the attributes are entered correctly…and they can be easily corrected, added, or whatever in the batch edit..

Thanks for helping out but everything is as it should be, checked it already, No duplicate attributes.

Google is a Pain….and sometimes there appears to be no rhyme or reason for what they do…

well I ran a diagnostics a few days ago and have several items disapproved, which were approved at one time in the past..and I too cannot find the reason…

CCMOM- have been fighting this for 3 months. Continue to have problems. Bonz have knocked themselves out working on this and still not resolved. Apparently it is a problem at Google end (yes, they admitted it!!!). We are supposed to just keep doing what we do indefinitely. Thanks Google!

What ccmom said! I found it a huge relief to stop worrying about Google (they could care less about the little guy anyway) and just doing the best I can. There are still other search engines.

Can someone here refresh my memory. Exactly HOW do you see what was DIS-approved on Google feed. I was at the library the other day and looked at my booth there and only about 25 pct of the items I have listed actually showed up (without signing in there). When I look at home, being signed in, I see them all.

I am figuring that obviously something is wrong as if you cant see the items, you wont get sales and have not had many recent sales in a while.

Thanks in advance.

TY

Glitch at Google- don’t know when fixed. Have tried for 3 months to get this resolved with Bonz help- figure I couldn’t be the only one with this problem so am glad to see these posts to justify my issue. Have redone and redone and redone trying everything Bonz suggest but still have problem. I also know that as of Sept 16th Google is supposed to come down hard on people whose listings are not compliant and reject feeds etc (even though it is a glitch at their end.) If Bonz comes up with a solution that works I will let everyone know here. As of today 15 “fixed” yesterday had 7 of the same ones come back. Don’t know what to try any more. Afraid to add new items until resolved. Afraid feed will be disallowed next month, Afraid another “season” screwed by Google. Getting too old for this crap!! If anyone gets a satisfactory workaround please post it here for the rest of us.

gearseller2 you are not alone. Every item I have listed in the last week has been disapproved. I have done the listings as I always do, making sure all attributes are correct. I have support looking at this but I fear we are at the mercy of Google.
