It appears your projector needs five belts, but you should check the picture against your machine to verify.  
The eBay listing does not say anything about the main drive belt, which is the timing belt with teeth, the one you 
have is discolored and turning yellow-brown. 
Shutter/motor pulleyFeedTake-upRewind (this is on earlier machines, later model Elf/Eiki projectors do not have this, they use a clutch not a belt for rewind)
Main drive belt (not listed in the eBay post).
Ask the seller if he has the main drive belt. If not you can run yours until it falls off, but you would be better to replace themall at once.

Thanks!
I'm located in the UK, ideally it would be great to find some from around here. I found this:

Are these all the belts I need?BestKevin

You're missing the round shutter pulley belt. The two grooves in the pulley is to switch film speed or 50/60 Hz. 

>From the state of the main drive belt, I'd replace that as well. You mind as well replace all belts with a whole new set, including the
feed and take-up. 
Where are you located? 
Richard Pattchetts has a large collection of new-old-stock Eiki belts. He is located in Michigan USA. http://www.16mmdirectory.org/search?q=patchetts

Hi Frameworks,
I purchased an Elf projector some time ago and I discovered that it was missing some belts (two I think). Here is a link to some pictures:

Can anyone tell me what belts I need to find/ where to get them. 
All the best and thanks in advance! Kevin
