Ever since I did a product import on 6/22 to add the Condition field to my Google Base feed, none of my products have been updated on Google Product Search. Any reason you can think of why this is??

Is there any error message?

I have had the condition field in my GB feed for months now. But starting 3 weeks ago, GB has sent me a 'Google Base data feed file status on "data_feed.txt": No items inserted' email every week. When I check my account it shows that the last time my feed updated was the week prior. I have had to go and manually upload it and that gets them to process the file. I think it's a g**gle problem.

No, it just seemed to be hung up while processing. I manually submitted the feed and it worked.

I have Google scheduled to pick up my feed every night at 12am, and they are still having some trouble getting it. It seems like ever since we added the attribute for Condition, Google doesn't want to process the file.

Also, I too received an email just like cnmor, stating that no items were inserted. Even though it may seem like a Google issue, it's seems oddly coincidental that these problems started the same day we added Conditons.

I'll set up some conditions on my site today and see if the same thing happens.

UPDATE

It looks like G00gle's in the process of uploading all my files. For the last 12 hours or so I've been getting emails about my feeds that G00gle's been picking up every night (finally) getting processed. I guess it was a problem on G's end.

Thanks.

What I see is google requires the condition of the product in the feed. It must of been a recommended field before but now is required.

Sucks, since it appears that we will have to go on each product and label it as NEW.
