Default anyone use kijiji?

www.Kijiji.com

pwned by ebay, just like craigslist but more sophisticated. ebay has swooped up all the good potential classified sites and kept slowed them down to a crawl.

you said it yourself. by slow down i mean they don't improve on it so that ebay stays stronger.

im not saying that. im saying that the whole purpose of buying all these companies is to 'prevent' them from taking away market share from ebay. we are both in agreement with eachother here. yes i know of ebay owning cl

btw ebay is substantially raising their final value fees :madr:

honestly i dont think eBay knows what to do with kijiji. they're probably hoping it takes off virally (sp?).

final value fees have been raised but insertion fees have been lowered, along with free gallery ($0.35). overall the fee is slightly lower or near the same. thing is now you have lower upfront risk (insertion fee) in case the item doesnt sell. it's more of a pay for performance model.
