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
Note: For more information about logos, and links to Web sites, click the “Show” link next to the Additional Information section below.Violations of this policy may result in a range of actions, including:
Listing cancellation
Limits on account privileges
Account suspension
Forfeit of eBay fees on cancelled listings
Loss of PowerSeller status
UPDATE: just seen that Russell Shaw has reported this already
