Facebook Testing Craigslist-Threatening Marketplace For Selling To Online Friends

I’m cheap. Like, really cheap. I’m a journalist, we're supposed to be like that. Thus I do a lot of my shopping online, but Amazon doesn’t get all of my money. No, sometimes I like to keep it local, and I’ve had some great success finding things I want-and-or-need on Craigslist. But Craigslist has its problems – you don’t know your buyer or seller, it can be hard to organize a sale or pick-up, and, well, it can be downright sketchy. One thing that would help would be a referral or ranking system, yet Craigslist has nothing of the type – once a deal is done then it’s done, no ratings or feedback involved.
