Specific items not showing up on google search

I Joined Bonanza roughly 6 months ago to spread myself amongst the interwebs (being on Etsy and Ebay already). At the beginning when I had everything listed, google search (shopping) would bring up both listings from Etsy and Bonanza.

However, in the past month or so, this seems to have change. Now, for example, when ever I search “cock block plush” in google shopping, It will only show my large cock block from Etsy and my Small cock block from Bonanza.

I find this quite frustrating as I would like both locations to shows, especially since I sell more of my small ones then my large ones.

So, anyone have any know how on the reasoning behind this and if there is a way to some how fix this? I much appreciate it!

This is just a guess, but bonanza has a word filter to prevent certain items from going to google. It has caused some sellers some problems in the past, such as the (Dick)ens Village figures, (Ass)embly required…and my guess the word ‘cock’ is being blocked…

I could be totally wrong, but if you wish to find out go to

My Bonanza
Center of the Page is
Advanced Selling Tools
there is a link that says
Feed Diagnostics
Click on Initiate a feed status review

This will give a sampling of items that are blocked from the feed. Once it returns it tell you the problem and send you to batch edit to correct.

This only gives few at a time, since google will only send back an example of the problems

There may also be a duplicate listing suppression by google too.

Google Shopping does not like duplicate listings, so if you are listing the same items everywhere, you can expect they won’t all show up, even if they did in the past.

Shoppers want to see a variety of what is available, and hopefully Google filters will give them that. They don’t want to see repeats of the same items, over and over, just because some sellers like to spread their whole inventory everywhere and do not follow the policies of Google Shopping. Your Shopping feed should rightfully be suppressed on websites that are listing the same items.

Merchants must only [URL removed]

One listing per product, regardless of whether they own multiple websites or not

Duplicate Items Not allowed Not allowed Google doesn’t allow items to be submitted more than once.
