Google Displaying Anchor Jump Links in Snippets

Many pages on the web are divided into named sections which can be linked to like #this. Google is now showing direct links to those anchors sometimes. Take a look at the top result for the search query shipping labels ebay seller information; here, in the snippet area the text starts with “Jump to Save on Shipping Costs”, the latter being linked to pages.ebay.com/...labels.html#6.

Previously, Google already started to show jump links for Wikipedia.
