Personally, giving the information in that ad, I would not buy that bulb. There is no way to tell from the pictures or info on the auction just what brand of UVB bulb it is, or if it even is a UVB bulb. Better to just order the Mercury Sun and other recognized UVB bulbs from LLLreptiles or other online reptile supply stores. You can also check the UVB outage/comparison chart located at:
www.beautifuldragons.com. The chart is a good one comparing both mercury vapor bulbs and florescent tube bulbs UVB outage from different distances from basking area and effectiveness over time.

You could write the seller of that bulb for the brand name but it still smells suspicious to me.
