MyNewMarketplace.com combines eBay and Craigslist

Peder Blohm likes eBay and Craigslist well enough, but there were also things about the two sites he felt could be better. Rather than sending them a letter of recommendations he decided to make his own website, MyNewMarketplace.com, which combines the best aspects of each.

"I call it a hybrid between eBay and Craigslist," Blohm says. "It's eBay with the auction and Craigslist without the creep."

MyNewMarketplace.com offers easy navigation and a variety of options to buy and sell products and services, promote new businesses, post and search job openings, and support the local economy. The site will not include adult personal ads. It's similar to Blocket, a site based in Sweden.

Blohm and his team of seven are working with Essential IT, JCI Design, and Margo & Associates to get the site up and running with a scheduled release for this week.
