This week eBay launched a new website in the US that is meant to compete with Craigslist, the highly popular free classifieds site. Craigslist makes almost no income, backed instead by investors, including eBay, whose funding allows the site to provide a mostly free service in cities all over the US. But eBay has taken advantage of its insider perspective, and its new site, Kijiji, hopes to improve upon the classifieds site model and bring it more into the mainstream. "We've learned a lot from Craigslist," an eBay spokesman said. "We think this market has room for several classified services."
