Any and all MagSafe chargers work. They all supply the same voltage. A charger for a MacBook Pro will charge the battery faster. The Air charger takes longer. I own a MacBook Pro, a polycarbonate MacBook, and a MacBook Air. I plug them into whatever charger is handy, and no problems ever.
The adapters come in 45 watt, 60 watt, and 85 watt. The higher the power, the heavier the adapter, and the faster it charges the battery pack. There was a straight-in MagSafe connector on early models, but Apple only sells the new one now, with slim fit for lower chance of accidental damage. Your eBay page shows an older style connector. Either connector fits older or newer computers. I do not recommend using a 45 watt power adapter for a 17″ MacBook Pro, as it needs a lot of power to play HD video or games on the big screen.
