I am afraid that it is not possible to set visibility of attributes using the tab-delimited bulk upload file.

You can, of course, use tab-delimited files to upload the data, and change the visibility to hidden, but I guess that's far too cumbersome :)

What if I define a custom attribute in each bulk upload file, such as c:my_customer_id:integer, and then send a unique integer for each store/customer? Would I be able to search on that custom field?

Sure, that sounds right. Just encode it in a custom attribute (can be private if you don't want it to show up in the snippets feed or Google Base frontend) and then use that attribute to restrict your query (your attribute would be in the g: namespace).

Can I hide the attribute by specifying the access level in the name of the attribute in the tab-delimited bulk upload file? e.g.

c:my_customer_id:integer:private

It's not documented here, so maybe it doesn't work. http://base.google.com/base/help/custom-attributes.html

It's not that important to hide the value, but it is not useful to anyone but me. I am not currently submitting in XML format.
