We've been trying to find a cheap CMS solution that isn't a full $5k to $10k+ enterprise edition and can be used to host products imported from another store's XML data feed containing about 500 items. Basically, we'll be setting up a site for an affiliate type store, reselling another companies products which are provided via XML data feeds. Our problem is that it doesn't seem like any reasonably priced basic level CMS solutions like Magento Go, CoreCommerce, and Volusion, allow for direct XML importing. We've found that we can generate a CSV from the XML and manually import that into Magento Go, but that isn't automatic and then we run into another problem where the XML feed's images are being imported as links to their location and not actual images to be used as the default product picture.
Need recommendation on a CMS Store that allows XML import

Does anybody have a recommendation to what CMS we should go with or solution to getting a live XML data feed into a site using products like Magento Go, CoreCommerce, or Volusion?
