ecommerce site & Duplicate content

Hi,
I am trying to get my ecommerce ready to launch, I will be listing maybe 1000+ items on it, the problem is I am copying and pasting the item descriptions from my suppler, so this will be duplicate content, would i need to go and change each item description( this will take along time) of does it matter, will google penalise me for this. or if i want to to get a high google ranking do i need to be different
thanks
paul

 

I'm pretty much sure duplicate descriptions won't be an issue at all.
A few backlinks and a good CMS will rank well in Google.

 

the think that you mention is not duplicate content. you can relax

 

that is duplicate content and he shouldn't relax..lol

 

I don't think you should change the descriptions

but you should add your own original product review content

 

Agree with BTCollins.
You said it.
