How well do they work on *decent* browsers, like Mozilla?
Actually, that's perfectly standard code, so it should work in all
browsers.

Do they actually have the full path in the links, as seen when you view
the source of the page, or is it just showing up that way when you
mouseover the link in the browser?
Both formats, with a full link and with a relative link consisting only
of the fragment identifier, are legal, but the relative form is best if
you want it to work no matter what URL the page is placed at. However,
it's possible the Ebay software messes with the format of the links
when they're posted or viewed. Also, it is necessary that any anchors
you include are unique in the entire page; since your code gets
inserted into the middle of a template, there may be other anchors
elsewhere in the Ebay-generated code, and they could possibly conflict
with yours.
