Adding products to google shopping (google base)

From what I have searched, this hasn't been asked ina whole, so I will bring it up again if that's ok. If it has been answered, and I just missed it, feel free to point me in the correct direction:)

Ok- so I've got all these products added to the ejunkie cart, and through the short tag, added to a wordpress website. pretty nice setup.. The products are NOT added to the ejunkie marketplace.

This is a client's site (products are in her ejunkie account) and we are to the point inthe site that we are tweaking seo, and building links etc> Having the products listed in google shopping will be adventagious.
From what I have read here, the only way that ejunkie submits to google base for us is if the products are listed in the marketplace. Which is all fine and well, but won't the google shopping listing link back to the ejunkie marketplace? if so, that won't do us much good for building traffic to the wordpress website.

sooooo, I am wondering what the alternatives are. Is there an area that I can download a xml file of the products listed? Or do I need to build all of that from scratch to manually submit?

Thanks in advance for the help.:)

Yes, that is all correct. If you want to submit products to Google Merchant Center (formerly Google Base) for inclusion in Google Shopping/Product Search where the links point back to your WP-based site rather than E-junkie Marketplace, you would need to follow Google's instructions on preparing an XML file to submit to them, aka the "Data Feed" method:
