    I don't think it'll be that much of a competitor to begin with, however over time it may become a serious competition.

    Not even close.

    Orlando, FL on Kijiji doesn't even have 300 ads. Craigslist has over 142,000,

    Little difference...

    Right, but bear in mind that Ebay owns 100% of Kijiji and have been able to study CL

    doesn't look real active yet though and looks like you can't post live links...

    Can you give us a link to your information?

    Doesn't make since that eBay would be competing against themselves...

    sounds interesting though. if kijiji is own by ebay, it might potentially be a threat

    Nice find DannyBly!

    25%, (or whatever that means in $$$), is nothing for Ebay, and I guess we all know it.

    We are not talking for cannibalization here but rather for a smart move from Ebay's part, (you can call it "bribery" LOL), to learn, by first hand, their, (direct), competitor's strengths and weaknesses.

    At least this is what I got from these articles. Now wait for Ebay to sell their share...

    I think Craigslist has a great headstart, I think it is interesting that eBay owns the new site and has part in Craiglist as well.

    I absolutely hate the domain name... I cannot believe a company with such means would use such a difficult domain name......

    If you have never heard of the site before and you tell someone the domain name: "Ka G G" is redicullous....
