Hi,

I used to use Google Merchant Center to list all my items when it was free, but now that they switched over to this CPC model I don't see this helping small businesses at all.

Now when I look up an item the main merchants I see taking over this space are the giants like Amazon, Walmart, Sears, Rakuten, etc...

It's a shame that they switched over to CPC because this was a good channel source for me when I was able to list for free, but now that I have to pay for each click it doesn't seem worth my time to list my items through Google Merchant Center anymore.

Does anyone else have any experience with this? Are you still listing items after the CPC switch?

Thank you!
