| Building a better shopping experience | Caryn MC Guide | 5/31/12 11:35 AM | Today we announced changes to Google Shopping. You can read about the changes in our blog post and learn more at http://google.com/ads/shopping. |
| Re: Building a better shopping experience | SellRex | 5/31/12 4:30 PM | A freaking NIGHTMARE! Way to go Google ... Price small business out of product search the same way you priced small business right out of AdWords!!! Horrible! |
| Re: Building a better shopping experience | POMD | 6/1/12 3:02 AM | The big get bigger and the little guy gets crushed. What ever happen to Google being all about equality ? I guess if we all have to bid the big money that is equal in googles eyes.. |
| Re: Building a better shopping experience | SamSpaaza | 6/1/12 3:42 AM | Obviously this is a major change. I have two questions: 1. What does this mean for the local product availability features? Will "in stock" and "limited availability" information show up in the new Google Shopping? Will partners still include th |
| Re: Building a better shopping experience | Caryn MC Guide | 6/1/12 4:39 PM | SamSpaaza - Thanks for your questions. There is no change to how merchants send us Local Availability feeds. Results on Google.com/Shopping, Product Pages, and the Shopper App, will continue to show Local Availability exactly as they do now. Merch |
| Re: Building a better shopping experience | RealSeat | 6/1/12 11:16 PM | I'm now officially finished with Google Shopping!!! And for anyone else out there contemplating leaving, too, may I suggest Bing Shopping (which for the time being is still free and not nearly as burdensome with ever-changing rules and requirement |
| Re: Building a better shopping experience | mwell345 | 6/2/12 7:10 AM | I am somewhat confused, as many others seem to be. I would like a straighforward answer to this question. My items are submitted to google shopping/products - whatever you want to call it - by a marketplace (ie ecrater, bonanza, blujay). Once thes |
| Re: Building a better shopping experience | SellRex | 6/2/12 11:18 AM | Apparently, the move to a commerce model will mean that all product listings will require someone to bid (and pay if the product is clicked) ... in advance of any product listing ever showing up. This is probably going to work just like AdWords works |
| Re: Building a better shopping experience | AnnieB7496 | 6/2/12 1:09 PM | How exactly will Google be giving people a better shopping experience? About Me: 100% feedback on ebay and two other sites, total of 5 on line stores. Shipping within 24 hours of purchase, with tracking information. Followup email after customer |
| Re: Building a better shopping experience | SellRex | 6/2/12 1:59 PM | You're exactly right ... IT DOESN'T ... it makes a ton of money for Google. Here is what they wrote about moving to a commerce approach: "Today we’re announcing a new initiative to improve our shopping experience over time--so that shoppers (your cus |
| Re: Building a better shopping experience | AnnieB7496 | 6/3/12 3:49 AM | Well, I see no one from Google has been in to answer my question as to how specifically this results in a "better shopping experience". Guess they don't work weekends, unlike the hard working on line sellers who they are throwing this at. It wasn' |

| Re: Building a better shopping experience | festivfavors | 6/3/12 9:30 AM | I agree with everyone here. Looks like small business owners are going down the tubes now. I would gladly pay a set monthly reasonable fee for having my items listed in GOOGLE shopping but this setting up ads to have items show up sounds way too exp |
| Re: Building a better shopping experience | HarrietGirl | 6/3/12 1:11 PM | This is probably the most detrimental thing that has happened to any smaller seller. It is absolutely devastating. It will put many out of business. And to have this happen right before the holiday season---unbelieveably cruel and hurtful. |
| Re: Building a better shopping experience | AnnieB7496 | 6/3/12 2:32 PM | You are so right HarrietGirl. Many sellers will go out of business. Sellers will go out of business, customers will have skewered search results while Google fills up the cash draws. Eventually, though, customers will catch on and realize the sea |
| Re: Building a better shopping experience | HarrietGirl | 6/3/12 3:29 PM | I'm thinking that this is due to pressure put on Google by the large sellers to specifically knock out small sellers. They do not want to compete with the smaller seller. They have deep enough pockets to pay for placement on Google Shopping, smaller |
| Re: Building a better shopping experience | mwell345 | 6/3/12 3:55 PM | What's next? Pay to have an image placed in Google images? Pay to have a country placed in Google maps? Pay to have news placed in Google news? Pay to have books placed in Google books? Pay to have blogs placed in Google blogs? Why not make those s |
| Re: Building a better shopping experience | Sue_Pa | 6/4/12 6:11 AM | Google has many good ideas. Perhaps they will see the light after reading what small businesses owners are posting and make some changes to benefit the small business community as well as the corporations. One can only hope they wise up before they m |
