eBay Acquired two Danish classifieds

eBay owns the kijiji-gumtree free classifieds network which is the largest network of free classifieds on the net. This network is on top positions in Canada, Australia, Germany, Japan and the United Kingdom, and sites in more than 1,000 cities across 20 countries.
eBay has acquired Denmark's leading online classifieds site dba.dk and vehicles site bilbasen.dk for approximately $390 million in cash. Den Bla Avis and BilBasen are leading classifieds businesses in Denmark and operate dba.dk, an online classifieds site that generates more than 120 million page views per month, and bilbasen.dk, an online vehicle classifieds site that generates 66 million page views per month. Founded as printed classified advertising circulars, Den Bla Avis and BilBasen have successfully made the transition to fast-growing, profitable online businesses while maintaining the publication of its circulars. Den Bla Avis and BilBasen have offices in Aarhus and Copenhagen, Denmark.

eBay couldn't fight with craigslist in USA. Although the eBay site kijiji is one of the popular classified site of USA, it couldn't affect the enormous popularity of craigslist. Otherwise the eBay sites are quite popular in other countries like Canada, UK, Australia, French, Italy, South Afrrica etc.
