Important that all the Fields/Nodes that are in the Feed also be in the
very First Property Listing of the Feed for Mapping purposes.
- The More Information
you can include that is compatible with our system, the better for the
viewers and potential buyers of the listings.
- Any Incompatible
Information, Nodes or Fields; that Info can be included in the
<publicremarks> and you can be quite creative using CDATA (Character Data).
- In order to auto
update your feed, your feed filename needs to be the same.
- Currency:
User Currency Nodes must be in this format
<listprice
currency="EUR"></listprice> <listprice
currency="ZAR"></listprice>

use a node name more than once in any feed as it makes editing, mapping
and adapting the feed difficult of impossible not to mention confusing.
Each node name should be unique within a feed. Such as below.
