eBay does NOT own Craiglist. They took a 25% stake in CL when it needed cash. eBay promotes it's own Kijiji or whatever, not Craigslist. To promote CL would be in complete conflict with their own business model.
I'm not against eBay either. I do get to hear the complaint from every forums site that has a base in selling or buying with eBay.
100% of them covers it.
