They don't use it because they like Google Checkout or they want to promote it, but eBay probably felt their AdWords ads would be less competitive if they don't use it.

If you search for [ebay buy.com] on Google, the first result has this description:Buy Buy.com, Vintage Sports Memorabilia items on eBay.
