Changing items listed with Froogle?

    I searched through Froogle's FAQ, but I didn't really see my question answered.. I've just started using Froogle, and I've got 4 items in my store. One of them has an incorrect URL, so I changed the URL in my .txt file and reuploaded it. It doesn't seem to change the URL. The only way I was able to fix it was by changing the description, so now there are 2 entries for this particular item, one with the correct URL and one with a dud.

    How do I delete the wrong entry?

    Give it some time. Even though new feeds are uploaded it can take quite a while for the new info to be dislayed in a froogle search. It's not instant... far from it.

    Froogle just plain confuses me.. I upload 29 new items yesterday, it says all 29 products were successfully uploaded and processed, but only 5 are showing.. I guess I just need to be patient, but it's hard when many of the items I'm selling are time sensitive. By the time they get posted, the event has already past. :(

    Yep, I got an error yesterday saying my feed had expired yet all of the products were still showing in froogle. I created/uploaded a new feed yesterday (process yesterday too) and the new feed still isn't showing. As long as there are no errors just walk away and check back in a couple of days.

    They're now taking 1-3 days to reflect any changes that you make in your feed. It used to happen within a matter of 6-8 hours, now it's taking much longer.

    Needless to say just wait...it will change eventually :cool:

    Just to let you know, you have to send new feeds every month or they expire.
