eBay Takes On CraigsList {Switched.com}

Jul 11th 2007 5:52PM I think we all feel ebay's fees are very excessive.

They are much like the credit card industry where they charge fees for the person taking card and charge the person giving the card interest.

In both cases the fees should be on one side or the other.

In any event, Craigslist (and Backpage) are both good sites but you just have to be even more careful about who you take money from.

Atleast Ebay does try and validate buyers - though it does not always work.
