So I am looking to upgrade from my picnic taps and found this deal.

Draft Beer Keg Faucet and Shank Partial Kegerator Kit - eBay (item 300254022891 end time Aug-23-09 08:35:08 PDT)

Do I need anything else to attach the beer line to the shank? I dont see anything else in the picture and I am a bit of a n00b when it comes to kegging.

Also, I have 3/16 beer line and the bore on the shank is 1/4. Will there be any issues with this?

The bore is fine, but you need the nipples and the clamps. See this picture: PERLICK FORWARD SEAL FAUCET WITH SHANK @ Williams Brewing There is a nipple and washer that fits on the rear, a flange to hold that into place and the beer line goes over that. Then you put a clamp on that to hold the line.
 
The link above as posted by yooper is somehwat of a good deal. Check out the threads about perlicks versus cheaper faucets. Id order that but yeah besides what you saw on ebay you need a nipple and a beer nut.
