 * Not sure why but when I create a feed, it just stick everything in one long paragraph.
   Doesn’t encode properly.
 * This page contains the following errors:
 * error on line 295 at column 517: Input is not proper UTF-8, indicate encoding!
   
   Bytes: 0x1A 0x6C 0x6C 0x20
 * Also, looking at the other XML files here. My file doesn’t have any syntaxes 
   at all. It doesn’t create a proper XML file.

 * Hello Enconmarket,
 * Could you show us an link to the feed?
    We have not seen faulty xml files befor
   so we love to look at it.
 * Do remember that browsers like firefox do not show the feed properly in the browser.
   But the xml feed is correct. Using a browser like Chrome will help you in looking
   directly at the feed.
 * Have you submitted the feed to your Google Merchant account?
 * Auke.
