The official CAA document defining what constitutes an SSDR is here.

A quick perusal suggests your plan will fall foul of the maximum takeoff mass limit of 330kg for amphibious craft (the FIB 582 is shown as having a MTOM of 406kg).

Also remember that the SSDR exemptions are only concerned with airworthiness; they do not extend to crew licensing, registration or insurance - you will still need to register it with the CAA, arrange suitable insurance and meet the applicable pilot's licence and medical requirements.

The cynic in me suggests that ebay ad is an accident waiting to happen.
