Title: The eBay/Craigslist connection
Post by: MovieMan on January 11, 2014, 12:04:48 AM
Sometime ago I believe I read that eBay owned 25% of Craigslist. That must have been a nice shot in the arm for the cList creator !

Any other knowlege about this?

yeah the craigslist guy had always said he would never allow advetising on cl or charge for cl. well they've changed that a bit chargin modest fees for like the massage section and jobs section which imho actually improves the site as it keeps fake job ads off.

i forget why he sold but he sold a percentage of the company to ebay years ago for a pretty huge sum of money if i remember correctly.
