Games in ADF format cannot be run on an Amiga. ADF files are backup images of floppy disks, they cannot be run, they can only be restored to floppy disks.
Amiga software which was designed to be run from harddrive can surely be run from this CF card, too.
But please note that these offers on Ebay usually are rip-offs. They sell standard PC components more expensive than electronics shops. And the software is stolen: parts of the operating system without license and freeware sold without permisson of the author(s).
You can get a legal package with similar components there: http://amigakit.leamancomputing.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=440

One good thing with pcmcia CF is that you can mount iso's or the entire card as a CD, good to run CD software or install AOS 3.5-3.9 without a CD drive :)
I have dedicated 1GB cards for some games like Napalm, tho most CD games require more then a mildly expanded A600.
The only game I have not got running from CF is exodus the last war.
Now on topic, I would rather get a adapter from amigakit or vesalia, due to same reasons thomas said. also it is easy to fill a CF card with whatever you want. No need for that mess the seller is putting on it.
