I'm sure many people here have used ebay rotors. One thing I'd watch out for, especially with the auction that you linked is that '98+ 318ti's have vented rotors while older models came with solid rotors. If you order through them, make sure they specify which rotors you'll get as not to end up with rotors that won't fit your car. Personally, I would stay away from ebay rotors if you're looking for cross drilled. BTW, you can buy OEM blank rotors for less than those.

Just FYI, I have an early '98 and it has solid front rotors. You can get solid OEM fronts from bimmerworld for $20 plus shipping.

OEM rotors will stop better than those + your pads will last MUCH longer.

Those rotors will probably crack before you go through your first set of pads. Drilled rotors = no no. Really hurts the integrity of the the rotor.
