    Hi,

    I work for a clothing company, I was trying to upload our products manually( checking) to see if they get uploaded on Google Base. I,e., Forest Green Cap, Gown & Tassel manually on Google base.
    The problem is that it says its been uploaded but it doesn't actually come up on product search. I have no clue why that's happening( you can check it out on product search yourself).. Please let me know if anyone has faced and succeeded in solving this issue.

    USA , for some reason our DB has been encoded. So I cannot directly update our products from Database, I have to do it manually. So decided to submit articles for top 50 keywords. The link you gave, gives info about submission using Api. Ive used that before but it didn't work. I even went to an extent of decoding the database and update products using php script. Its all went fine, but still the products are not listed, Google base back end says submitted and published but when i search in Product Search it doesn't come up.

    I know you have probably covered this, but maybe you haven't seen it for a while, and can pick up something you potentially missed.

    Requirements:
    In addition to following the Google Base Program Policies, your items must also meet these requirement(s):

    * Products must be shippable throughout the United States.
    * Items and landing pages must list prices in US dollars.
    * Only fixed prices are allowed. Variable prices, such as auction items, are not.
    * Landing pages must be able to accept electronic payments and process transactions securely online
    (SSL-protected).
    * Landing pages should list only one item per page.

    This lists Google's full set of requirements, and may be of help to you.

    There's always a time lag before things show up on Google base, and at the current time it's particularly bad - earlier this week it was completely borked and not accepting uploads

    I agree with you, and the language must match with the target country.
