eBay's online classified site Kijiji has launched two new features that improve search functions for users.
All Kijiji listings have a thumbnail photo if provided. The site now has a new Gallery View option that allows user to view listings in a larger photo gallery format.
eBay injects its brand name into its classifieds subsidiary Kijiji, which launched four years ago. Starting with two cities, the Kijiji name will change to eBay Classifieds.
If, outside of this article, you haven't heard of Kijiji, here's betting you will. According to new numbers from comScore, eBay's Craigslist-like property has seen some pretty impressive increases in unique visitor stats.
The New York Times recently reported a story about Kijiji's attempt to take on Craigslist. Though Kijiji has some decent traction globally, it had been an unknown in the US. Is that about to change?
Gumtree was quite “sticky” overseas - the classifieds site attracted and held a lot of attention in the UK, Ireland, Poland, New Zealand, Asia, Australia, and South Africa. Gumtree, which is owned by eBay, will now have a chance to do the same in three American cities.
