Who has used one of these eBay links??

Since we have eBay links ALL OVER the place, they are pretty hard to ignore. Has anyone bid on something that was placed in a discussion? I actually did see something I wanted to go bid on, but my eBay account is suspended, so I couldn't bid. Then I tried to bid using my dad's password, but it didn't work either (shhh...). They are certainly distracting, but are they affective?
