		<description>Thing is, Google always seem to do things perfectly, they just know how to do it right, but i hope their e-commerce search doesn&#039;t make eBay obsolete in a few years. I&#039;ve only been a buyer on eBay, rather than a seller, and i was wondering, does eBay provide you with data about your sales and customers like Google will provide custom reports?</description>

		<description>Hey Cliff,

I didn&#039;t have a price point to work from, I suppose you would need to call Google to discuss the matter.
(From the Google Commerce Website)
----
Pricing:
The pricing model for Google Commerce Search is based on the number of products/items (SKUs) in your data feed and the number of search queries entered on your site each year.
If you want to discuss your specific search requirements with a Google representative, please contact a sales representative directly.
----
My point here is that even if it could be had at 50K, eBay should have made a deal with Google long ago instead of constantly squabbling and fighting with them.  Google does search - they do it better than anyone.  One of eBay&#039;s biggest problems for a long time has been search and &quot;finding&quot;.  
Constantly trying to re-invent the way people search for stuff has led eBay down a very dodgy path - making nice and possibly using Google Search within eBay, assuring inclusion of all listed items (fixed price) in Google Products search, would have been the smarter move - IMHO. 

What is done is done, but 50k a year - if that is the price tag, seems to be a small price to pay (ifin I were eBay and I were looking at my dwindling Alexa numbers). 

Thats all I&#039;m sayin Cliff....</description>
