| Re: ebay vs craigslist I love craigslist, a lot better then e-bay IMO, and you really can't get scammed on it. CL is a great thing when your actually looking for something that you need. My dad has found several yard tools and machines in great shape and perfect order from there. Ebay has the advantage of having a far greater reach, but it is way to easy to get scammed, and I really don't like paypal Opteron 64 165--1.5GB DDR--ECS KA1 MVP(thanks HL!)--x1800GTO 256MB--Seagate 320GB SATA--Antec 550 Watt--Antec P180 | ||||||||||||||

| Re: ebay vs craigslist I've had good luck with craigslist so far (just sold a laptop on there today). But I make sure to meet people at public places, so they don't come rob my house. I've also been lucky so far on ebay, even though that place is a hell-hole, and Paypal is the biggest scam of all...

| Re: ebay vs craigslist I like Craigslist. If you deal locally, it's pretty hard to get scammed. I bought my camera from Craigslist. | ||||||||||||||

| Re: ebay vs craigslist CL isn't quite as easy to search as ebay, but it still fills a niche. Do they charge for listings or is it all ad-driven?  | ||||||||||||||

| Re: ebay vs craigslist CL has really cleaned their s**t up compared to where it used to be... with multiple verification steps and a little precaution by the poster, it is about as good as placing an ad in the local newspaper. I am not sure where their money comes from because I don't see any ads but the postings are free so I wonder if their higher dollar areas require a posting fee or sales fee. Thanks HL and Corsair!

| Re: ebay vs craigslist Craigslist makes their money from paid job ads. I read somewhere that their yearly profit is supposedly in the millions Opteron 64 165--1.5GB DDR--ECS KA1 MVP(thanks HL!)--x1800GTO 256MB--Seagate 320GB SATA--Antec 550 Watt--Antec P180 | ||||||||||||||
