I know TheFind accepts Google Base feeds (though they do a horrible job of parsing it).

Do you guys know of any other place like this that accepts a Google base feed at no charge?

thanks

You're referring to the Google Merchant Center, formerly known as Google Base, formerly known as Froogle.

The Base feed is outdated by a year or so. You're much better wrting a feed directly for The Find's Feed API, and also updating your Base feeds to Google's new Merchant Center API (it's very close to Base, but they regularly add new mandatory attributes).

I'm counting on Google to keep their track record going, and abandon Merchant Center for the newest greatest thing in 2011.

I know The Find advertises that feature, but I couldn't get it to work, and just wrote a feed to their API.

Were you able to successfully submit a base feed to The Find, and they accepted it and published your catalog?
