|
|
According to the thread posted below, "Google Shopping requires that merchants provide contact information such as a physical address and contact number. It is suggested to add both physical address and phone # to the contact page of your store to prevent suspension from Google Shopping".
Have any of you actually added a physical address and phone number to your store contact page? Has any one actually been suspended for not doing so?

I have no intention of complying. Makes no sense. In these days of heightened cyber theft and crime, why does Google want to make it easier for the criminals? |

There is a longer discussion here: http://community.ecrater.com/viewtopic.php?t=34291
That policy never made sense to me, b/c providing a physical address is a stated Google AdWords policy...not a stated Google Shopping policy. See page 2 of the above thread.
I fully believe that eCrater admin was getting emails from the Google Shopping Team about this and eCrater sellers were getting suspended, just as eCrater said. And I fully believe that debating it on this forum will not change Google one iota, as eCrater said.
But, as I mentioned in that thread in January, the stated Google policy applied to AdWords, not Shopping. And I can imagine, tho I could be wrong, that the suspension notices that eCrater was receiving in January were due to an overzealous misapplication of the AdWords policy to Shopping. But that's just my interpretation.
I have not and will not comply with that "policy"...and if I'm suspended, so be it. I have not been suspended yet. |

We will never post that info either. I do know that if you publish an e-newsletter, that and bulk emails to people not only need the unsubscribe info but the physical address as well. |

@JefferysJunction
You may want to review your about page. I see that you still have GCO listed. |
