However, if you followed this video to add products to google base follow this video, you will not success because it is little bit outdated. Google now requires an attribute calls condition.

The Condition Attribute is like this:
The condition attribute is a required attribute for products. It allows you to indicate the condition of the products that you’re selling. While there are numerous ways that you might describe the condition of your products on your website, Google Product Search only accepts the following three values:

New
The product is brand new and in perfect condition. It has never been opened, used, or worn. If the product normally comes packaged, it is in its original packaging with all original packaging materials and does not contain any blemishes.

Used
The product has been used, worn, or opened. This includes sealed items with blemishes, open box items, or unsealed collectible items for resale.
Examples: Uncirculated coins sold by private parties, autographed items.

Refurbished
The product has been refurbished, remanufactured, or recertified by the manufacturer or a professional third-party remanufacturer to meet original manufacturer specifications, and includes a warranty.
Examples: Recycled ink or toner cartridges, refurbished computer equipment.

In order to do this, you need to manually create a new attribute for all of your products, with “New”, “Refurbished” or “Used” as condition values. After you set this attribute to all of your products, then you can follow the video again and map the condition value to google mapping value “condition”.
