don't worry, of course they're mono. Each side is just two conductors, hence RCA to MONO 1/4" (6.53mm) jack. Two of them make a stereo signal.
That ebay cable is right, albeit a little cheap.
EdIT: was too late to go in to last night, but you could also go Pseudo balanced. It's where you use a TRS (3 conductor jack) instead of the Mono (TS jack) and then use a three conductor cable, wired TRS as normal on the jack, but then at the RCA end, you solder the ground to the neutral.
Unlike a normal balanced cable, the pseudo balanced will still attenuate over distance, but it will have the EMI and RFI advantages over unbalanced.
The only thing is, it really only is of benefit when the source is balanced and you're going to an unbalanced destination. In this case (mixer to soundcard) you may not get any real benefit unless you're doing a long-ish run and there's chance for interference (i.e. past power cables and other unbalanced signals)
