The idea is obviously great, unfortunately eBay doesn’t allow users to integrate external links on their auctions. You can take a look: the following auction was linked by Jajah to show an example of integration of Jajah buttons and eBay.
As you can see, it has been removed. I don’t know who removed it actually, but eBay rules are pretty clear: you cannot insert external links on your auction.
Non-permitted links include, but are not limited to:
Links to websites or pages that offer to trade, sell or purchase goods or services outside of eBay. This applies whether it is a static URL or an active link.
Links to sites that solicit eBay User IDs, passwords or email addresses from buyers
Links that encourage buyers to place their eBay bids through a site other than eBay
Links or other connections to live chat systems
Links to videos hosted on other Web sites
Links to subscribe to newsletters or mailing lists hosted outside-of-eBay

Listing cancellation
Limits on account privileges
Account suspension
Forfeit of eBay fees on cancelled listings
Loss of PowerSeller status

[...] Nothing strange, here. It has always been an ebay’s rule, since 2001. So, it’s Jajah’s fault, they had to CAREFULLY read their rules before stating that Jajah buttons could work on ebay. I commented it yesterday on my blog: http://www.lucafiligheddu.com/…..eally.html [...]
