Anybody plan on using Kijiji?
ChadTower:
Ebay doesn't usually brand their "other" sites that I've ever seen. You don't see very many Ebay logos even on Paypal.

Kijiji has been running for a couple of years here and I monitor it regularly. I haven't bought anything I found on it though (and I have from both eBay and CL).
Maybe volume will pick up now that it has launched south of the border. :dunno

Right, and I think that's to keep them separate in the eyes of the general public. Hopefully they don't mess with craigslist though.

The number I have in my head is 25% and even that 25% didn't make much sense to me from a business model standpoint.
ChadTower:
It does if you want to infuse enough cash to keep the venture afloat just long enough to transition its userbase over to your own new service. I would imagine somewhere along the line Ebay would be acquiring more so that they would have the power to shut it down once it is superfluous. Could be they started with 25% and then made their way to 90% for that reason.
