Okay so once I saw this I took the 5 minutes necessary to look at eBay's 
services and start thinking that this commit is a bad idea.
Please correct me if any of the following is wrong:
- When you originally brought this up, you described the problem as one of XML 
vs. API but I think what you actually meant is eBay SDK vs. using XML directly?
- You mentioned that the API (SDK) provides additional functionality but it 
appears to me that it simply abstracts the use of raw SOAP or XML when 
interacting with the actual API?

Based on this I'm not sure that we should have separate components but that the 
XML based component should just be moved to using the SDK (assuming there are 
only advantages and no disadvantages in doing so).  Doing anything else will 
just result in twice as much code to maintain with both components doing the 
same thing (or worse yet, similar things but with huge differences in 
implementation from the user's perspective).  Converting the existing XML 
integration to use the SDK will ensure that we have a single solution in place 
and that no functionality in the existing component is lost.
