Craig Newmark, founder of the San Francisco-based website Craigslist, walks to the courthouse during the Ebay versus Craigslist trial at the Chancery court in Georgetown, Delaware, December 10, 2009. EBay, which sued Craigslist in Delaware in 2008, is fighting over its stake in the popular online classifieds site. It claims that privately held Craigslist unfairly diluted the stake to 24.85 percent, thereby denying eBay a seat on its board. Defendant Craigslist has sued eBay, meanwhile, in San Francisco over the same issues, saying that eBay used confidential information from Craigslist in order to launch its own competing online classifieds site, Kijiji.
