EBay has launched Kijiji an international network of nearly 50 classified-ad Web sites in China, Germany, Japan, Canada, France and Italy but noted it has no current plans to launch in the US. A decision no doubt influenced by their 25% stake in Craig’s List
For now, EBay is allowing users to post ads free of charge, while it tries to build up market share in each of the cities. In the US – Craig’s List allows readers to post for free with the exception of recruitment advertising.
Although Craig’s List has launched overseas all their sites are in English whereas all of the Kijiji sites are in each country's native language.
