Try one of Scion Life sponsers at www.elementaldesigns.com Chris (mandos) here works for them. They sell a good brand and also do a search.

Also make sure that you're using a sound dampening brand that uses butyl.

Dunno about the product you've linked on ebay, but I'd be wary- the description is no description at all. You definitely want a butyl based product, and it's unwise to scrimp on price for a variety of reasons.

The linked sound deadener showdown is out of date wrt edeadv1se- it's a butyl product with mylar skin.

I've used it and also the 2 products listed below in my own xB. Each has its pros and minor cons, with the RAAM mat being my subjective favorite, and Damplifier better for high temp under the hood situations...

Dynamat extreme is also good stuff , but not really competitive on price...

The amount of work involved is extreme, and I'd hate to have to remove mat that didn't stick right- that's the stuff of nightmares. Make sure what you're buying is good stuff, and you'll have no regrets down the road, long after the purchase price is forgotten...
