Just noticed my RSS feeds on all 3 of my sites are being refused by google.
Has google updated something?
My products are not showing in any of the listings and I have not changed anything.
The error im getting is:
"Feed-Level Messages
Warning: XML formatting error - Warning
Our system encountered an error when processing your data feed.
Learn more.
Examples: Examples:
Line No. Column No.
13 3"
viewing the rss feed in IE shows no errors.
Qphoric your products normally show on google shopping / base but are not now? idk if this is a wider problem?
I have done this and receive this message:

"The DOCTYPE Declaration was not recognized or is missing. This probably means that the Formal Public Identifier contains a spelling error, or that the Declaration is not using correct syntax, or that your XML document is not using a DOCTYPE Declaration.

Same error on http://www.starttrafficmanagement.co.uk/rss.php
So i think it must be a formatting error that google has only just decided to take issue with?
the line described above only contains this
Lines 10 - 13

All i did was right click my rss feed and save as then open in dreamweaver.
The same code is visible in the Rss on Q domain.
I was worried for a second my site may have been attacked then.

Just loaded the rss and saved it diferently which has removed that code from the file?
anyhow the line that google suggests is not right reads
line 13

this is strange,
ive just uploaded it manually (right click rss link save target as) and then manually upload and its now working fine.
google base does not like the RSS scheduling it seems now for some reason... not sure whats goign on with it?
is anyone else running rss? and noticed their products dropped?
seems odd it has happend on two different sites at the smae time with two different hosts
SO just to clarify:
When uploading two of my sites automatically via RSS they have both not had any products entered and as such have lost all google product search products.
If i save the Rss Feeds from a link then upload them in google base manually they work fine.
The google base feed for one site is fine (not rss)
and the google base feed on the other has whitespace errors.
