Variations and google shopping

Anyone out there had any luck getting multi variations with unique mpn's to show up in google shopping? I have already tried to find the barcodes for my items to no avail, so this isn't an option.

 

So far i have tried adding my own attribute called MPN with no luck.

I've tried putting it into the custom label field with no luck.

On one of my other listings I've added all of them directly to the listing itself separated by commas, however I'm thinking my images on that one don't meet google shopping's criteria.

 

Any help would be appreciated .

Numbers you put in the drop down line is just text, and not priority indexed like one of the Item Specific fields, the MPN and especially the UPC number.  In fact without a UPC number, Google puts ebay stuff at bottom of the list.

Barcodes on products are usually the property of the retailer.

The same product at WalMart and Target with have the same UPC ( Universal Product Code) but the other barcode is for the shop's inventory control.

The items I'm trying to sell in a variation are used without packaging(no luck finding gtin), the info i have available for the items is the manufacture's part number. I'm trying to get them to show up on a google search and or shopping. I've had no issues with my single item listings showing up on google shopping without a upc, but variations is a different story

I looked at one of my variation listings (on another ID), and even with a UPC code, it is not showing up on Google shopping.  However, all my other none variation listings of the exact same item are.  So something Google doesn't like about variations.  Will have to look into it further.

After much more looking i found this info:

 


How do I add product identifier to listings with variations?
You can enter the brand for a listing only at the parent level, which covers all variations. You can enter GTINs only at the variation level. Manufacturer part numbers can be entered at either level. 

 

And i have found variations that do show up on google shopping, and are able to be found doing a search matching they're variation option. And the one i found has no GTINs at the parent level,that leads me to believe the solution has something to do with entering the Manufacturer part numbers for each item correctly at the variation level.

Do you use the global shipping program on your listings? Cant help but wonder if that's a factor somehow

Yes, I put GSP on my listings, but only to block being switched to ebay Managed Payments for as long as I can.
