Somebody on eBay is selling "just the key" for the OEM version of XP pro
and 64. He claims the key will work for both.

Is this possible?

Oh, one of those secret sellers in a highly private auction. Must be
why you didn't include a URL link to the auction's page.

The only things possible would be for the seller to make a few bucks, have
his eBay account banned, and maybe go to jail/pay a fine for fraud. As far
as the usefulness of the key- nil.

Windows OEM keys are "system" specific! 32 bit versions are for 32
bit software and 64 bit is for the 64 bit software.

It appears only the Retail versions of Vista / Windows 7 that appears
to have a "dual" version CD key.

XP 64Bit was never a Retail software version.

That's what I thought. The auction has since been stopped.
