They should double down on the auction part and maybe find some way to make money off a craigslist like feature. Why bother trying to chase amazon?

- mark-r 9y agoThey're taking exactly the opposite approach, I wouldn't be surprised to see them eliminate auctions entirely someday.
- zodPod 9y agoThat's a very Apple thing to do haha. "The new eBay. Get what you want. When you want. You'll never have to wait for an auction to end again!"
- Scoundreller 9y agoEBay has Kijiji, which has decimated Craigslist in the Canadian market. There's talk about embedding Ebay listings into it... they'll have to tread carefully.
- Scoundreller 9y agoAs a seller, I've found I get more money on fixed price listings. Most users will pay more to buy-it-now rather than deal with auctions. And I can target a price at the top 10% of the market (easy to do when I'm selling a small number of items, harder when someone is selling 10000)
