   Ok, I've tried adding every function I could find in the wpsc_single_product template, to no avail: WP's the_category, WPSC various functions I could find in the core files, to no avail.

   WPEC website doesn't help: no in-depth documentation. Their forums are broken. Wat gives?

   Very simple: I want my single product page to display every category the product is in.

   Why is this so difficult?

   It shouldn't be. Products are posts of type wpsc-product, and categories are a WordPress taxonomy of type wpsc_product_category.

   So - to get the categories that a product is assigned to:

   $categories = wp_get_object_terms ($post->ID, 'wpsc_product_category');

   Actually, trying to display the data gives an error "Cannot use object of type stdClass as array", since this is a multi-dimensional array.

   I've had to resort to using this function (http://www.phpro.org/examples/Convert-Object-To-Array-With-PHP.html), and then echo'ing each potential array value like this, as an iteration using a for/count loop was taking more than 30 seconds...

   <?php
   $categories = wp_get_object_terms ($post->ID, 'wpsc_product_category');
   $prodcats = objectToArray( $categories );
   echo "<div class='prodcats-items'>" . $prodcats[0]['name'] . ' ';
   echo $prodcats[1]['name'] . ' ';
   echo $prodcats[2]['name'] . ' ';
   echo $prodcats[3]['name'] . ' ';
   echo $prodcats[4]['name'] . ' ';
   echo $prodcats[5]['name'] . ' ';
   echo $prodcats[6]['name'] . ' ';
   echo $prodcats[7]['name'] . '</div>';
   ?>

   The following works fine for me without any messing around - or having to assume a fixed number of categories.

   $categories = wp_get_object_terms ( $post->ID, 'wpsc_product_category' );
   foreach ( $categories as $category ) {
       esc_html_e ( $category->name );
       echo " ";
   }

   It's worth noting that wp_get_object_terms can return different formats depending on what you need. See http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_get_object_terms
