If you’re a Shopping.com merchant, you may have noticed an email in your inbox this last week entitled “The Product Condition Field”. Shopping.com has supported this field for a long time, but they are starting to make it a required field. There are three values you may use: New, Used, or Refurbished. All pretty self-explanatory stuff. If you use SingleFeed to submit your products to Shopping.com, don’t worry – no change is required on your part. We already require this field within our own format. So we’ve been sending this data to Shopping.com ever since you signed up with us! If you’re not a SingleFeed merchant, you’ll want to jump on changing your feed to comply with these new requirements in order to keep your listings published.

Is there any word on when Shopping.com’s manual mapping tool will no longer be “temporarily unavailable?” From what I see in their new merchant support forums, this has been a problem for several months.
Unfortunately I do not know. Shopping.com’s categorization is very automoated so if you don’t have good data (like MPN, UPC, and good product names), they will mis-categorize your products. Their categorization rules are different for different categories. Hopefully their tool will be up and running soon so you can fix your categorization on the fly. But in the meantime and in general, try to include better data in your feed to avoid mis-categorizations.
