Ebay is suing Craigslist and getting sued right back according to Tech Crunch. I wish I could have a ringside seat for this one. I can’t help but think that this would not have happened had Craigslist reinvested their profits in their product or service. If you have ever called into Craigslist then you probably got the same response that I did - a lack of concern for the user. Sure, they have implemented a lot of changes, but they are making plenty of cash with little more than was in place a few years ago. At the same time, spam on Craigslist continues to spiral out of control - both poster spam and response spam. Ebay has built a product that is superior in many ways, but that doesn’t say much because it is Ebay - a company that isn’t exactly the champion of quality either. Ok, maybe I’m being a little harsh…Ebay helps a lot of people peddle products just like Craigslist so why shouldn’t they work hard to undermine their competition as Craigslist allegest that they have.
