Comparing Contrasting
eBay & Craigslist
Layout
While comparing these two sites they both have a similar home page. But on
Craigslist there are a lot more categories to look at compared to Ebay. However Ebay
shows its featured items of the day. Also on Craigslist you can pick which country, state or
city you want to look in. And Craigslist has a post to classifieds on the homepage to make
it easy to post stuff.
Navigation
Basically the navigation for these two websites are the same, but there are some
differences. One difference is that Craigslist has you pick where you want to search at and
eBay doesn’t do that when you open up the website. And both sites have all the categories
that you will need to search for.
Content
There is a lot of content on both of these websites, but Craigslist has more. For
eBay there is eBay motors, fashion, electronics, sporting goods, toys and hobbies, and
deals & gifts. However on Craigslist there is community, housing, jobs, personals, for sale,
discussion forums, services, gigs, and resumes.
Technical Aspects
The technical aspects of these two websites eBay & Craigslist are pretty good.
But sometimes on both of these sites the pictures don’t show up, but it is mostly on
Craigslist. However on eBay if you want to pay for something the only way to pay for the
items is to make a PayPal account which can take some time to do. Also on Craigslist
which really annoys me is that people don’t put their phone numbers, price and where the
product is from.
Other/Unique Features
Now for Unique features eBay has more than what Craigslist has. For eBay you
can stay connected through social media with Facebook, twitter, and Google+. Also you
can send gifts to friends and sometimes you can get high priced items for cheaper.
However both of the websites have mobile apps for phones to access the site easier.
Conclusion
After comparing these two websites I feel that Craigslist is a better website because
it has the items that I look for at lower prices than what eBay would such as
cars and trucks. Also Craigslist is easy to navigate through and instead of using a credit
card to buy stuff like eBay you can use cash. But the thing I don’t like about Craigslist is
that if you want to see the item you usually have to drive to the location. Therefore overall I
would recommend Craigslist, but eBay is very good website if you like to shop at home.
