Google Syndication and Item Feed - Important Info for Etsy Sellers!

[dbvictoria]

First off, check to see if your shop has a syndication feed or not here: http://www.etsy.com/syndication.php.  It'll either say "active" or "pending."  If you're pending, keep checking back till you're in active status.  (Of course, Etsy hasn't given any real timeline for getting everyone inserted, they just say it'll be "over the course of the next months")

Then, if you're active, in "your etsy", use the "select all" and "deactivate" buttons at the bottom of each page of your shop, then "select all" again and "activate".  And all your items are magically inserted.  Just takes once - you don't have to do this for renews or new listings, as that's automatic, but your older listings aren't there yet.

Yes, please check the link as it is in error when you click it.

The link is right, it just has an extra full stop at the end. If you delete the last full stop from your address bar it will take you where you need to go.

Thank you for the info Victoria, really helpful stuff

Yes, the link should be http://www.etsy.com/syndication.php without the (.) at the end. I don't know why it got picked up as a part of the link instead as the period at the end of the sentence.

Thanks for the link. I have been reading up on this, but could not find everything I was looking for. This is perfect. I will have to keep checking though, still pending  :'(
