Then I use Note Pad to change all the descriptions to Used (I sell collectibles and vintage so everything is used). The first time I did this was right after the June 30 deadline and everything listed fine. I have been doing the same this week and Goggle is saying that everything is missing a condition. Any idea what I am doing wrong? Thanks for any help you can give. Craig I save my store feed from eBay to an XML file.

And there's no reason that "new with tags" in ISs can't map to "new" for Google. Yet again, it's a problem of the people developing the site not having anything to do with using the site.
