The Google Base Store Connector creates connections between a specific online store and Google Base. The Google Base Store Connector currently supports connections to Yahoo, and eBay stores. Through this connection, a Google Base account holder can upload items from his or her other stores to Google Base.

After you download and install the Google Base Store Connector, you need to run it in order to make a connection to your online stores. Create a Google Base Store Connection as follows:

1. Using the pull-down-menu labeled I want to get items from, select the kind of store to import items from.
2. You will need to fill out different connection information depending on which kind of store you select. Fill out the Connection information as follows:
* For an eBay store, enter the User ID and password for your account.
* For a Yahoo store, enter the email and password for your account.
3. Fill in a name for the connection. This name will be used to label your Google Base Store Connection in case you need to modify it or upload more items to Google Base.

After you have filled out the information necessary to create a connection, click Copy items for my store . You will be taken to a new tab, labeled with the name you specified for the connection. You will see a link to your store and a link to your Google Base account. You will also see a last update date/time, a last publish date/time, and a list of your items, sorted by category.

After you have created a Google Base Store Connection, you are ready to upload items from your store as follows:

1. Select the tab that is labeled with the name of the connection you wish to upload items from.
2. If you haven't used this connection in a while, click Copy items from my store. This will refresh the list of items in the current connection.
3. Select the categories that you would like to upload items from. Currently, the Google Base Store Connector does not support uploading individual items; it only supports uploading categories of items.
4. Click Publish Items to Google Base.
5. Enter your Google Base username and password when prompted to do so.
6. If you wish to view the items you have added, you can click View my items on Google Base.

If you need to cancel the upload because you selected too many or too few items, you can select Cancel to end the publishing. You can check that your upload worked by using the link to your Google Base account.
