    I say good on em'! eBay is acting like a kid too big for his/her britches and it's good to see Craigslist fighting back.

    And I agree, this may well get VERY ugly.

    I applaud Craigielist for its actions but I don't hold much hope the success of its claims. The claims are just to ambiguous and can't be proven.

    "The claims are just to ambiguous and can't be proven."
    Oh, really !

    For one thing there is a lot of evidence in the public domain of faked ads in google purporting to be of craigslist when it is phished, really going to ebay or kijiji...
    I could go on at length with other examples but it's a time management issue.

    apparently Halo doesn't read...or it's another sock puppet.

    I love Craigslist and wish them all the luck in the world with their lawsuit. And I think they need quite a bit of luck on this one. There's nothing wrong with a minority shareholder using insights gained for their core business -- it's just a strategic investment.

    As for phishing, yes, that's a big, ugly issue but hardly worth eBay losing all their equity in Craigslist. They should be fined instead.

    Thank goodness for craigslist to finally slap ebay back to reality! Ebay thinks they are above the law in alot of matters. Buying out all the competition is a MONOPOLY and if the GOVT would step in they too will be GATES zized and taken down to a normal cost. They are passing a rule no pay pal no sales on site. wait they own it! Matter of fact They are also Raising sellers rates. Just my 2 cents worth. screw ebay! And down with their capitalistic ways!
