Just to play devils advocate here. What about the seller who is ripped off by th buyer? If that seller leaves negative FB for the buyer he can be sure that he will receive a negative comment in return.

I just can't imagine eBay remaining a minority shareholder in Craigslist forever. eBay's real crown is PayPal. I remember when x.com (which became PayPal.com) was its own business entity. They attached themselves to eBay for obvious reasons (including a means to facilitate skyrocketing credit card debt and promote fraud at every level). Watch for PayPal to become part of the Craigslist scheme - somehow - someway. Before x.com became PayPal and before it was owned by eBay, eBay was characterized by a very skeletal infrastructure, not entirely unlike Craigslist (has been made to appear) at present. Hint? >From eBay's perspective people moving to Craigslist in droves (which I believe will happen to some extent) is just another way for their throbbing PayPal heart to say, "Come to Papa".
