Adsense Subs in Ebay Auction Ads - Do they Convert? Do they Pay?

Today, I noticed a large rise in traffic on many of my sites. As I have many political sites it was not surprising as today is Super Tuesday and people are looking for information and sharing information like crazy.
However, my adsense earnings for the day were off, by like 98%!
I was trying to figure out what was going on as I had not changed anything. Then I noticed on one of my political sites an Ebay ad placement go through after I published an update about the election results.
Now these ads are not just an image, where if you click on it your readers goes to a single ebay auction or even some other site. Each of those links by the prices are clickable, just as they look to be clickable.
Plus, you will also notice that these ads are SPAM. The were posted in the Elections category, even those the things that are for sale are things like pendants and lapel pins and Hurricane Katrina garbage. These things have nothing to do with John McCain or recent updates with Hillary Clinton in New York any more than chrome accessories have anything to do with Brittany Spears psychological condition. Someone is obviously abusing Adwords and by extension harming my sites.
The url behind these ads was rover.ebay.com and that was along with ebay.com were the two urls that were added to my URL ban list in my Adsense setup.
