Does any one have a clear easy method for formatting data feeds for E-comm sites. Are there folks who do these for a fee, or teach you? I think once I do one ll'll be fine, but a mistake may count against me if I'm not careful. Can you use the same format for G, and Y product submitt?

My experience is that no two data feeds will be precisely the same in terms of format. You will definitely find commonality, however. Typically, they ask for a product title, description, image url, price, etc. Some will let you use HTML to further format the product, others won't.
If you have all of your basic product information in a database program, such as MS Access, queries can easily be built to accomodate the requirements of any particular feed.
