Yes, the widget is free. While eBay does support Javascript in its listings they do have some restrictions, so depending on the widget and what it does, it should not be a problem.

Roger,that is the name of the widget that's having this problem?

John replied on June 01, 2009 06:25 to the question "Why does the network widget code not link to my website?" in Widgetbox:

I’m a little confused. But looking at your site, the two blidgets seem to work for me. (It’s been a day so maybe you fixed your issue)
It looks like you have 2 blidgets – GVO Social Network and Widgetbox Blog Network:Business.
When I click on them they seem to work for me, they launch a new window and bring up the blog.
By the way – you have an interesting site.

I just found out about the site a couple of days ago and Widgetbox seems very easy – just like falling off a log. (I am somewhat technical, and I don’t know your background)
The site has been designed so that non technical people can add widgets to their site – just copy and paste the code into your site and that’s all you need.

Hope this helps...

I tried your site 8 minutes after you reported the issue. All your widgets looked fine for me. One had a recent post about episode 96, another about episode 144 – I liked the post about “Learn to Become a Pet Detective”.
It looks like a great site.

I tried the twitter widget on my site and yes, it worked fine in IE 8 – but it also worked fine in Firefox 3.0.10. Unless you are using a very old version of Firefox (Widgetbox supports Firefox 1.5 or later on Mac, Windows, Linux) this should not be the problem.
It is possible that you changed one of the Firefox browser settings that turned off JavaScript?
Question – what is the URL of the site that’s having this problem?
