eBay buys 25% of Craigslist
Online auction giant eBay has acquired a 25 percent stake in Craigslist, the wildly popular online trading site that lets users find anything from jobs to event tickets to dates.
The eBay investment comes on the heels of a move by Craigslist to start charging a $25 fee for employment listings on two of its more popular regional sites — New York and Los Angeles.
