How do I get my stuff uploaded to Googlebase?
Several times a month all listings with a “buy now” price and sufficient time to run are uploaded by eBid to Google’s shopping database “Googlebase”, so that searches for matching items will produce hits on their shopping search site. The description for items taken will be constructed from the auction title and will show the category in which it’s listed. eBid has confirmed that uploading is done as follows: It’s currently at 1 day remaining from the time we start the process at 5.45am (GMT) on 3, 8, 12, 18, 23, 28 of each month. This gathers as many listings as possible. This means that to ensure your item appears you should always have it run for at least a week, then even if you list just after one upload, it will be caught on the next and have a day or two to run. Obviously, running for a few more days beyond that will give greater exposure and increase your chances of picking up a bidder via Google. Remember to balance your need to reach Google against likley buyer patience thoug
