Listing on bonanza and ebay - google searches

I am not up to date anymore on regulations. Does google permit duplicate listings (they didn’t for the longest time)? Can I list the same item on bonanza AND fixed price on eBay? Thanks!

Yes, I need up to date on this as well. Sell over there, but not here so far after coming back.

AhHa! That explains why some folks were seeing listings disappear from other websites when they exported them to Google!!! You are wise ole Obiwan!![URL removed]

What if the price is different? ;-)

As far as i know, the auctions from ebay are not sent to google, just the fixed price or the stores are…so if you have an auction running on ebay and sell the exact same item here on bonanza, it would be fine….Plus since google is now paid, i have heard they don’t really complain as much as they used to….But since you did mention you have FIXED listings on ebay, I would think, The other way around it, just change the title! If im wrong about any of this, im sure someone will come along and correct me.

I have both, fixed and auction. I knew that auctions and bonanza listings were fine, just not sure about fixed and bonanza. If all it takes is to change title a bit, that would be great. Anybody? Is this all it takes? Thanks!

No, it is not okay. The rule is one item, one listing. So yes, changing the title may get it in more than once, but it is gaming the system, basically cheating other sellers out of their opportunity to show in the listings.

Since Bonanza does the updating for me, I’m finding it’s duplicating my items because I’ve changed some of my items on eBay to auctions rather than fixed price.
Can I modify what they update or how they do it to prevent duplicates or do I need to do this manually each time?
