Can we get a Froogle mega list like bidfind?

I think it may be interesting but they have a limitations on the products specialy for products types:

https://www.google.com/froogle/merchants/policies_new.html

Product Types

Froogle does not accept the following types of products:

  • Auction items, unless they have a 'Buy It Now' price that remains fixed throughout an auction

Also here:

https://www.google.com/froogle/merchants/basic_feed_instructions.html#registering

About the product type, they list Other, Books, Music, Videos only.

So may be you can try to contact them and ask them for any additional information about auctions sites.

Re: Froogle Plug in
My site Romahawk is listed in Froogle and I have never submitted a feed to them. I sent an email asking them to crawl the site and about 2 months later all my Buy It Now items started to appear there. I don't know if they crawl the site or just pick up the BidFind Megalist.

Re: Froogle Plug in
Some of my items are being listed in froogle as well, but they have ways to make sure all your items are submitted and thats sort of like a bidfind megalist.    I'm going to contact them and see if I can get some more details!
