Probably best if you can post an ebay link of what you bought so we can all see the type of cupboard you are talking about.

It looks like the holes, in the cross support, fit on the seat mounting bolts - that's how mine worked 8)

Do I have to remove the gull bracket off the floor that the fold up seat locked into or does it it stay

If it is one of the usual styles.... the rear seat is removed and the said unit uses the 4 studs to locate on and the nuts are then tightened down again.... That's the usual way for the rear types for the wing seat models
The seat bracket in the floor usually is left but you could remove it if it's a problem with siting your unit

Are the side panels shaped the same as this one?.

Yes it is, but if the unit sits Flat on the floor with the floor basket removed it is not flush at the top of the cupboard so to get it flush up the top it needs the bracket I guess but the cross member bit off wood looks like it is missing the section that goes onto the bolts as the one in my photo doesn't go anywhere near the bolts

The back right hand side corner of the worktop appears to have a cutaway for some reason?. I would contact the seller and ask them exactly where they had the cupboard installed in their vehicle.

Are you definitely fitting it to the correct side of the van?

It's drivers side rear where I'm fitting it but only have a bit of wood going from one side of the cupboard to the other and there's a
a tiny bit of ply wood on it and does nothing but rest on the wheel arch cover
