I wonder if there may be some kind of a conflict between X-cart and CDSEO's description which Google sensed and penalized us.

You should know that Meta Descriptions and Meta tags play no part in Googles algorithm, Google will show whatever description they seem relevant to the user.
Just creating content doesn't get you ranked on Google for keywords, get authority & quality backlinks to the category. Google may be doing 'Google dance' but I very much doubt it unless you've built links to the category.
Either way you were ranked 24th and I can only assume you got no visitors off that. As you really need to be top 5 on serps anyways.
I just hope you're not hiring a fake 'SEO man' as there are so many noobs out there.
