First off eBay plans to charge the sellers out the ass and then require everyone to take paypal so they can charge out the ass again. Then they will remove all the categories and just place everything top level labeled STUFF and it will be up to you to enter the correct search criteria for starters

I agree. I have only known about Craigslist for a couple of months and wish I had found it sooner. Some things should be left alone. Have you heard anything on how they will change it? Duane -----Original Message----- From: MoPo List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of channinglylethomson Sent: Sunday, August 15, 2004 7:06 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [MOPO] Sad News -- EBAY buys 25% Share in Craigslist! 8/15/04 It is with great sadness that I announce EBAY's acquisition of 25% of www.craigslist.com. In case you don't know craigslist, it is a virtual community bulletin board that has been in operation in major cities throughout the world. It offers free personal listings, free for sale listings, free job postings, rants and raves, political discussions, etc. The idea of craigslist is that it is a non-commercial, community based website that brings the virtual community together with little or no cost. There is minimal advertising, if any, and the site has a "plain jane" look that really has the feel of a community bulletin board. An example would be that if you have a pair of tickets for a concert and can't use them, you sell them for cost on craigslist.com and someone in the community gets to go for face value or less. It has never been about profit but has always been about communication. Now that the monster internet company EBAY has bitten into the pie, I can safely say that the days of craigslist as we know it are soon to be finished.
