Even more worrisome than eBay's losing $900 million on Skype to Wall Street is the lack of money the auction runner has put into its own site. Financial analysts worry about the site's outdated design and feature set. Enter Best of eBay, a new site with weird little monster icons, Digg-like voting features, and a name ripped straight from Craigslist, the classifieds site in which eBay owns a minority stake. Best of eBay is in beta, which these days just means "don't blame us if it's broken."
Craigslist is a sort of a newspaper ad place. You can't just sell something right away, but you have to talk with every single person who is interested and it's time-consuming. Good for cars, but not for a cheap item.
