Does anyone know of any PHP classes for processing the Amazon or eBay 
XML feeds?

There are two PEAR classes which handle both of these things, Services_Ebay 
and Services_Amazon.

There is a PHPNuke (web portal application) module that will allow you
to open an Amazon Store on your website.

I'm still looking for an eBay feed, I think the barrier there is that I
heard eBay charges some big bucks to be able to access the interface.
Amazon on the other hand recognized the power of having a proliferation
of front-ends promoting and selling their products and provides access
pretty much for free (there are features you can pay extra for if you
are inclined).  

Don't know if eBay will ever come along.  Apple, even today, doesn't
recognize that IBM gained it's dominance by giving away its bios listing
and hardware specs (and some of its business) in the very beginning,
while apple looked at that type of move as giving away income it was
intitled to receive and jealously guarded it's monopoly, even sueing
vendors in some cases.  eBay probably feels they already have a monopoly
on auction sites and don't need to give their stuff away.
