If everyone on ebay were forced to give credit to the site where they get
their information, it'd just be annoying as hell. They don't even need to
give you credit for that review, they could just as easily give it to
Amazon.

Anyway, how many people do you think are going to read that anyway?
More now since you posted it, but even now the view counter is at 18,
one is mine and I'm willing to bet about 3-7 of them are yours, 4 other
people have replied here and I'm sure the seller has looked at the item
a few times, so it's like 5 people who have seen it in the 5 days that it's
been listed.

Optium, you managed to miss the point a spectacular amount. Credit ought to be given where credit is due, whether it is one paragraph with an audience of three, or if it's a vast novel which is read by fifty million people. It has nothing to do with where the information came from (Though it'd still be polite to credit, it's not a legal requirement.), it's a verbatim reproduction of something Chris wrote.

It is indeed illegal not to credit the source of the work, whether it has to be Amazon or Chris here I don't know, but it definitely has to be credited. (Read the small print on Amazon. There's probably a clause which says 'Everything posted here belongs to us!' Even if that's so, I'd have thought they would still have to credit Amazon.)
