Craigslist Fires Back at EBay, Alleging Bogus Google Ads

once again... who sold eBay a nice chunk of their company??? the fact of the matter is that craigslist owners should sue themselves first for either being drunk or not being drunk.

Craigslist Returns Fire in eBay Suit

im just trying to figure out if eBay will have to place their shares on Craigslist if they have to sell them.. or if they would do it in an auction format on eBay. Im thinking Craigslist would be way cheaper and better targeted for the buyers. ;)

EBay and Craigslist: Fox in the Henhouse

I side with Craigslist out of contempt for eBay.. but realistically Craigslist and eBay are the same animals trying to claim to be different.
Why did they sell the stake to eBay in the first place? That places them in the stupid column(if only craigslist had one) in the first place.
eBay hedged its bet with the stake while trying out the waters with their own version.
I agree it will just be another interesting item to watch.
Better yet I do believe that Craigslist could create a very interesting competitive auction platform once they unload eBay.
Everyone using everyone else for something..go figure!

eBay vs Amazon: My Take

You are right Amazon is on the right track. I think you are all way off though in that Amazon seems to be pouring money into developing a larger software portfolio. Amazon is becoming a potential growth company. Ebay already hit their stride. They lack the imagination to take it further. I dont know how many people wrote off Bezos once or twice but if you ever saw the original biz model you would know why he started the company. I think they are going to be bigger than Ebay.. maybe one day they will buy Ebay. Ebay is ok but its like when the search engines couldnt find anything..then along came Google. Ebay is like a disorganized second hand shop. Their biggest mistake was screwing their customers by nickel and diming them including with paypal. If they had half a brain they would realize that they could have a bigger pie if they took a smaller cut. Ebay doesnt have vision.
