Ok i went through the client's site, and produced the XML file.  I get this error when trying to access the url/xml

XML Parsing Error: not well-formed
Location: http://www.paradeigmasite.gr/paradeigma.xml

Line Number 127, Column 105: <IMAGE_URL>www.paradeigmasite.gr/components/com_eshop/product_images/blabla_&_blabla.jpg</IMAGE_URL>

The error shows up, cause of the "&" character in the image's name.

Right?

Important note
Skroutz.gr requires a different XML format than eprice.gr.
See the URL WebGift wrote: https://merchants.skroutz.gr/ (https://merchants.skroutz.gr/)
If you wish to provide skroutz.gr a ready XML file you should modify eshop to create differently the XML file or built that XML file by your self my modifying the one IOS Eshop generates for eprice.gr.
Alternatively you can list your products at skroutz.gr without XML (they have a crawler robot).

What kind of modification does eShop need Gianni? Easy or should i suggest the crawl bot ?

IOS Eshop does not need any information. The other sites do.
IOS Eshop generates XML files for the format required by eprice.gr
skroutz.gr requires a different format.

example for eprice.gr

Code: [Select]

<PRODUCT ITEM="1">
<NAME>Product name</NAME>
<DESCRIPTION>blah blah</DESCRIPTION>
<PRICE>12.00</PRICE>
<MODEL>MOV1</MODEL>
<MANUFACTURER>MGM</MANUFACTURER>
<CATEGORY>Adventure</CATEGORY>
<WEIGHT>0.20</WEIGHT>
<QUANTITY>28</QUANTITY>
<IMAGE_URL>..........</IMAGE_URL>
<URL>............</URL>
<ADDED>2009-11-28 12:54:45</ADDED>
<MODIFIED>2009-11-28 12:54:45</MODIFIED>
<AVAILABLE>2009-11-28 12:54:45</AVAILABLE>
</PRODUCT>
example for skroutz.gr

Code: [Select]

<product id="186282">
<name>MadBiker 600</name>
<link>............</link>
<price_with_vat>91.35</price_with_vat>
<category id="68287">title</category>
<image width="768" height="768">.......</image>
<thumbnail width="64" height="64">.....</thumbnail>
<manufacturer>xxxx</manufacturer>
<shipping type="accurate" currency="euro">5.00</shipping>
<sku></sku>
<ssku></ssku>
<availability>xxxxxx</availability>
<stock>Y</stock>
<description>blah blah</description>
</product>
