From the ie8.ebay.com web page:

<div ... onclick="document.location='findOutMore.php#eVS';" >
....
<a href="findOutMore.php#eVS">
eBay Visual Search <span>Get instant search results</span>
</a>
....
</div>
<div ... onclick="document.location='findOutMore.php#eAC';" >
....
<a href="findOutMore.php#eAC">
eBay Accelerator <span>eBay search on any site</span>
</a>
</div>
<div ... onclick="document.location='findOutMore.php#eWS';" >
....
<a href="findOutMore.php#eWS">
eBay product updates <span>Using Web Slices</span>
</a>
</div>

So those links run .php scripts on their server. They take you to a
short product description page with a download link. When I visited
those product pages using IE8, the download links there were:

eBay Visual Search:
http://cdn.cloudfiles.mosso.com/c423...eBay_EN-US.exe

eBay Accelerator:
http://cdn.cloudfiles.mosso.com/c423...eBay_EN-US.exe

eBay product updates:
http://cdn.cloudfiles.mosso.com/c423...eBay_EN-US.exe

Notice each offers the SAME file. Also notice they are bundled
downloads. The file is 16.8MB in size, which is huge if all it were
just one add-on.

Now hover any of their "Free download. Internet Explorer 8 optimized for
eBay" links. In the status bar, the file link goes to:

http://cdn.cloudfiles.mosso.com/c423...eBay_EN-US.exe

Lookie. The SAME file again. All links go to the same file. My guess
is they are shoving an entire IE8 32-bit installation package at you
that includes their accelerators pre-installed. Well, you ARE visiting
their customized IE8 download page, after all. The navigation path to
this page is "Home > Internet Explorer 8 optimized for eBay" (it's shown
there right at the top left of the web page).

You could use the "Contact Us" link at eBay to ask *them* if they
provide those add-ons separately or just what is in that same file used
for all add-on downloads.
