Craigslist v eBay: When Will Craigslist Triumph?

Current forecast: 2009 (37% chance)
Combining all predictions, the current most likely outcome is 2009 with a probability of 37% (unchanged in last 1 day)

Andrew Chen notes that eBay's unique visitors has declined by 11.6% in the past year whereas Craigslist has grown by 76%. Projecting out those current trends would mean that Craigslist would pass eBay within a year.

Is eBay a spent force? Sales on-line have increasingly moved to fixed price and eBay has introduced a number of controversial changes which have caused unrest among their sellers. Additionally, Craigslist and eBay are currently locked in a legal battle over eBay's stake in Craigslist.


Settlement details: As reported by Compete for People Count. (Compete records US visitors only).
