are you sure it's in the correct format, using the right decimal separator?

you can try this:

<?php 
$locale = localeconv();

$xml=simplexml_load_file(example.xml);
$xmlbid=$xml->RESULTS->LISTING->value; 

$xmlbid = (float)str_replace(',', '.', str_replace($locale['decimal_point'], '.', $xmlbid));
$mul=$xmlbid*0.7;

?>

it will replace the decimal separator to a point and also the comma, just to make sure :) actually one of these is enough probably, it depends on the input.
