    I'm trying to submit my 3 xml feeds to google but I don't understand the technical part of this. every time i try and submitt the feed it shows that 0 products have been uploaded. I've read for hours and tried different things but I'm at the point where I would like to see if someone can help me with this. My feeds are below and if you could take a look at them and tell me what is wrong with the feeds in lehmans terms because I only know just enough to get me by when it comes to this stuff.

    Just briefly looking, it doesn't seem to be in the correct format. I'm lucky enough to have a google product feed generator on my ecommerce sites so I don't have to manually export them. I'm assuming you've check out google's 'base' help (http://base.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=59461) there's some good info there.

    Do your product feed in excel then export to txt with tab-delimited. You need all the fields to be present for the product to be accepted.

    The fields I use are:
    An example of one of my products is below:
    So basically you need to format your feed in that way for it to be accepted. Depending on the number of items in your feed you may be best off just manually submitting them one-by-one.
