Do you have to pay eBay to sell an item?

No. Craigslist is a "free classifieds" site. Although, it is owned by eBay. The beauty of craigslist.org is that it is area specific and - THE MAJORITY of craigslisters are not trying to make money. They are trying to get rid of something. Where as "fee based sellers" are usually profit driven.Plus, you can always PREVIEW the item BEFORE YOU PURCHASE with craigslist.
