By Kasumi Widner, Google Base SupportMaybe you are one of the lucky people who saw the green "Success" message on your very first attempt at sending us a bulk upload. If you're not, I'm sure you've seen some of our error messages on your dashboard and thought "Huh, what do you mean??" We know this can be a frustrating process, and we've spent time rewriting some of the most common error messages so that they're clearer and more actionable. For example, here are some of the revised messages:
| Old message | New message | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Failure | Bulk upload failed. No items are live. There are too many formatting errors in your file. | ||
| Unrecognized header | We didn't understand the header (first) row of your file. Please make sure that there is one attribute name for each column and that you are using valid attribute names. | ||
| Invalid price | Price must be greater than zero (0) or left blank. | ||
| Attribute was incorrectly specified | This attribute was not correctly defined. Please check the formatting in the header (first) row. | ||
