What was wrong, in plain words
- Merchant Center's customer service details did not match the site: no website link, no phone and a different email address.
- 315 product images were made with AI but carried no AI label inside the file, which Google's rules ask for.
- The shipping page did not say that items are sourced from a supplier after the order.
- No page where a customer could track an order.
- Thin social profiles, and a payment page that did not list Google Pay while the checkout offered it.
None of these showed up as an error anywhere. Which item tipped it, nobody can say: Google does not tell. Real screenshots; store name, website and account ID hidden.
