Answer 2

You should use the xml namespace http://mws.amazonaws.com/FulfillmentInventory/2010-10-01/

var xDoc = XDocument.Parse(xml);
XNamespace ns = "http://mws.amazonaws.com/FulfillmentInventory/2010-10-01/";

var condition = (string)xDoc.Descendants(ns + "Condition").First();

OR

you can search for Tag Condition in any xml namespace

var condition2 = (string)xDoc.Descendants()
                             .First(d => d.Name.LocalName == "Condition");

---

OR

you can use XPath to get Condition in any xml namespace

var condition3 = (string)xDoc.XPathSelectElement("//*[local-name()='Condition']");
