So it is illegal to refer someone to someone's auction?

Unfortunately there's a dozen sites like this, so whenever you an
internet search for a meteorite they pop up if the meteorite happens
to be on ebay.

The reason they do this is because ebay has a referral program, so if
someone clicks on an auction link on one of these sites and wins the
ebay auction, the site owner gets a commission.

Not really a way to fight this if the site owner is well hidden,
unless you have the money to hire lawyers to pursue it.
