EBay owns both sites but makes money on eBay, the other is just a free site and paid for by all the advertising.  It is not surprising that eBay would want to direct as much traffic to the paid site (eBay) as possible and this is one easy way to do it.  When a buyer clicks a listing on that other site, it will direct them to the eBay listing.  I think the bargain hunters will be far more annoyed by that than any eBay seller.  People using the other site do so because the don't want to pay $38 in shipping for a wristwatch.  

 

The topic came up recently on the Seller Board if you want to see it, maybe weigh in with your thoughts,
