So I have quite a few NOS or Deadstock items with no codes at all on them.
Do I need to list them as used to get Google to pick them up and not throw them back?
Thanks for any help.

Hi @GracefulVintageNow,
Sorry for the confusion. Google Shopping requires any brand-name items in new condition to contain a valid UPC in order to advertise the listing on their platform. A UPC is not required for used items, or items that do not have a brand.
Note that if you’ve recently updated your listings, it can take up to 72 hours for Google Shopping to review and approve the items.
We recommend reviewing the following help page for more information about sending items to Google [URL removed]

If you are still having issues sending your items to Google Shopping after reviewing the information on the page above, please let us know at support@bonanza.com and we’ll be happy to take a closer look for you.

I use the site barcodelookup.com and upcitemdb.com/upc
Between the two,I almost always find the info I need…

no..just leave the upc (gitn) blank and it will be listed with
[[identifier_[URL removed]
this is what is placed in a feed when any of the google attributes are missing…
The 3 attributes google asks for are…brand, upc (gtin) or mpn and any 2 of the 3 are accepted
and in case of books isbn13 of course after a certain date so older books are not required to have one
EDIT
I also noticed that you have 1930s buttons and these are the ones that are probably being kicked out..
try using this category
Collectibles > Sewing (1930-Now) > Buttons
and then in the listing window at end of description put
[[[URL removed] This will disappear from listing but show in the Search optimize as an item trait…
by using this option, you may get around the upc problem since upcs did not exist in the 1930s and there is more leeway with collectibles
instead of Crafts > Sewing > Closures & Connectors > Buttons

Buttons no issue. It is the Red Slippers and the Beatrix Potter dishes which have no barcode.
Will continue to try and tweak them. Thanks.
On the GShopping it seems to pick up books from other places and show on top of my items. Not sure if this is normal or not TBH.
Thanks everyone.

Should I post a comment or an answer?
You can only post one answer, so make it count. Maybe your reply is more fitting as a comment instead?
Post an answer for:
- Replies that directly and specifically answer the original question
Post a comment for:
- "Thanks," "Me too," "I agree," or "Works for me" types of replies
- When you would like the original poster to provide more details
- When you have more to add to someone else's question or answer
