This is an example I'd like to do. Lets say I joined affilate programs from Amazon, Buy.com and Barnes and Nobles. I'd like to display a product and also display from each affiliate product details like availability, price, shipping cost, etc.

How can I do this dynamically that is go to each site and retrieve the information I need and display it on my site. I'm sure there are people that know how to do this because it looks like BestWebBuys.com does it.
thanks.

Amazon has web services that allow you to get datafeeds from them.

I don't think that Buy.com and B&N do.

There are premade scripts you can get that work with Amazon.

If you want to display multiple prices/sites for products, you're probably better off looking into affiliate or co-branding opportunities with PriceGrabber.com, BizRate.com, or NexTag.com... sites like that.

If you use Amazon's Web Services, you're not allowed to list product info from other sites.
