Is anyone has issues with google base? Today I submited data feed through store admin panel and a few hours later received message that “0 of 1205 items inserted”. Checked status of data feed at “google merchant center” and there are no “visible” data feed errors:
Feed status summary for products.txt
0 of 1205 items inserted - Processed on Mar 25, 2010 2:19 pm PDT
Detected encoding: US-ASCII
Detected delimiter: Tab (\t)

v. 2.0.14
It’s not necessarily a bug. I don’t use quantity because I don’t think Google will list it if the quantity is 0. It is not mandatory to have quantity.

That’s a minor bug related to 2.0.13/2.014, but, yes, the proper solution to avoid this kind of google base feed issues is to not use quantity at all if you do not track inventory. Thanks for the input.
Nedd, google have only recently made it mandatory for the UPC to be a certain value. if your products do not have a valid code then they will be dismissed, you can read up on this at:
