What I mean to say is the searches are local, you cant search nationwide, at least I havent figured out how to without having to switch from local site to site. I am so sick of Ebay, their latest rule change doesnt allow any seller to leave feedback for a buyer... for me to leave feedback for a deadbeat bidder... I list items on Cragslist and appreciate the service, I just wish there was a way to list nationally w/o jumping from city to city. It would deffinately give Ebay a run for its money (which is all they care about for sure) and make my life easier. Any feedback appreciated!

You can only take so much toe stepping before you say ouch! ebay had been my bread and butter for the past 12 years, but since feb I've gotten two undeserved negatives and now my neutral are turned against me as well. Screew you ebay. OLA is here and you won't be touching them anytime soon. Sellers? Looking for a new home. Try Onlineauctions.com!

As each day passes- they set a new precedent to an even lower form of deception, lies, dishonesty,and underhanded. Why would you give ebay the " benefit of the doubt"-when they have not yet proved deserving of it? Do not be distracted with these matters- although they must be tended to. In the meantime- You and Craig have much to do- stay focused- stay positive- and continue to do the great work you've both been doing. Continue forward- and keep your guards up.... put absolutely nothing past them... and NEVER... give them "THE BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT". I believe they've already showed their true colors.... I will continue to remain loyal to "Craigslist". Jim- DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE HOW LOW EBAY WILL GO….

I don’t think Craigslist would want to do this though as their mission is localized.<<< Even local buyers (20+ miles) are asking me if I can ship to them. People are realizing how much it really cost to drive when they are filling up their gas tanks. Personally, I prefer buying and selling locally and would not want to see any mail order ads integrated with local listings. I was suggesting a craigslist mail order section completely separated from local listings. There is a big demand from sellers who are fed up with eBay but can't find any alternatives with enough traffic. >>>Agreed.

OK... even before Atari! I'm highly qualified in software engineering, networking, et al. I'm fully prepared with substantial coding done... to build an online auction system entirely in concert with Craigslist philosophy of community service, equity, and integrity... qualities easily lost on the net... but still as equally recognized. If craigslist and/or anyone else is interested in doing this project I'm up for it. Launch could be as little as six months. Please contact me at craigs@stanspublicmail.com.

Google has taken page rank from eBay. When you go to do a google search for lets say estee lauder ZERO of eBay's auctions come up NONE... I did read an article that google and ebay had teamed up for text based advertising and click to talk... So do you guys know if they had a fallout with eBay as well? I think it is hilarious that this will lessen the traffic flow for feebay I have a question and I am not sure if you have the answer.. Google has taken page rank from eBay.

Anyone can place an adwords ad and direct it to Ebay. " This is an incredibly stupid statement. Adwords cost big money. Who the hell would want to pay everytime someone clinked on that spoof link? Ridiculous. “Ebay cannot control what the millions of its users do. Anyone can place an adwords ad and direct it to Ebay. ”
