Need help creating acceptable datafeed for Googlebase products

    I'm trying to create a datafeed for Googlebase so that I can advertise some products that I have on sale, however Google keeps rejecting my datafeeds, saying they do not contain prices.

    I'm using FeedforAll for Mac and creating an rss feed but FeedforAll has no data field for prices.

    Is there any online software available for creating an acceptable product datafeed for Googlebase -- and on a Mac 10.4.1?

    Thanks

    Google doesn't accept RSS feeds, its text file. Go to the below site and they will tell you what fields you need to submit. You can use excel or any spreadsheet program to create a feed for your site. Download their sample feed, add just a few of your items and then save it as a tab separated csv file, submit that to google through your google base account. If its accepted then you go ahead and add all your items.
