Yahoo! Product Submit - PriceGrabber Partnership...What you Need to Know

Yahoo! Product Submit is partnering with PriceGrabber on March 11, 2010 and requiring advertisers to take action which will affect their product listings:

What you need to know:
  • Deadline THIS WEEK (January 11th to January 19th) to sign up with PriceGrabber and ensure "your products are guaranteed by PriceGrabber to be live on both Yahoo! Shopping and PriceGrabber on March 11, 2010"
  • Sign up before March 11 any applicable fees will be waived
  • If you're already on PriceGrabber, then you don't need to sign up for a new account; you'll get listed automatically on both sites

Know your Options:

  1. List your products on both Yahoo! Shopping and PriceGrabber. You can choose to have your products listed on both Yahoo! Shopping and the PriceGrabber Network. If you choose this option, you must sign up for a (no setup cost) PriceGrabber merchant account.
  2. List your products on Yahoo! Shopping only. If you choose this option, you must sign up for a (no setup cost) PriceGrabber merchant account.
  3. Do nothing. If you choose to do nothing, your products will continue to be listed on Yahoo! Shopping, provided your account is adequately funded, until March 11, 2010


Learn more about these options and the Yahoo! Shopping-PriceGrabber Partnership...

We also recommend you touch base with your PriceGrabber account representative to ensure your product listings will continue to run without interruption.
