From looking at the extension's source code, it seems that it grabs your last search in eBay/Amazon and sends it to Google Maps. If there was an option to use a different provider (other than GMaps) I would be more inclined to use it [1].
By the way I love the idea behind this extension! It's just that I would prefer not sending all my ecommerce searches to Google.
[1] note that Chrome extensions are not just used by Chrome browser, they are also used by other browsers not made by Google. So it's not impossible that some of the potential users of this extension may want to avoid using Google products where possible.
Edit - I just emailed the dev and offered to help, hopefully we will get in touch.
