Instead of explaining anything, they blocked the account for misleading.

I didn't understand all this at all, I decided to refuse promotion with them Review Source Ben A.

For e-commerce websites like mine, Merchant Center is the most important as it connects to Google Shopping Ads AND in recent years, offered FREE listings and FREE sales opportunities via Buy on Google. Pros Free traffic and free sales listings. The only "catch" is you have to submit a properly formatted product feed and set up Buy on Google. Cons Google Merchant Center has annoying little quirks that cause it to reject specific products for incorrect or silly reasons. One big example is when the Washington Redskins abandoned their nickname due to political correctness, Google suddenly rejected not only all my Redskins products, but even non-Redskins products that happened to have the word Redskins printed on it.
