No, but -ebay in your search string might. It's gotten almost
impossible to use Google for a lot of things without sticking a
-amazon.com in there to screen out the "affiliates".

Some of these sites don't include the name "ebay" anywhere but buried
deep in the URLs of the links. Google doesn't seem to match on words in
URLs of links on a page.

It would be probably not be a good idea if google downgraded a page only
because it contained a link with "ebay.com" somewhere in it. It would
be good if they downgraded any page containing a link to a qksrv.net "page".
