Back to the online classified listings group
eBay sells back stake in Craigslist, ending dispute
eBay has sold its stake in Craigslist back to the online classified listings group
New York - Arab Today
US e-commerce giant eBay said Friday it has sold its stake in Craigslist back to the online classified listings group, ending a legal dispute between them.
The California tech giant had taken a 28.4 percent stake in Craigslist in 2004.
Craigslist sued eBay after the online auction giant launched its own classified listing in 2007 called Kijiji, alleging that eBay had hidden the rival project at the time of its investment.
"Under a confidential settlement agreement, Craigslist has repurchased all of eBay's equity and all litigation between eBay and Craigslist will be dismissed," according to the eBay statement.
In 2010, a Delaware court restored eBay's holding in Craigslist to 28.4 percent after it had been diluted to 24.9 percent by actions taken by Craigslist majority shareholders Craig Newmark and Jim Buckmaster.
Craigslist, which has mostly free online listings and some paid ads for buyers and sellers of various items, is one of the most visited websites in the US and globally.

to 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Emiratesvoice
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opens Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations. It includes the dress worn by supermodel Naomi Campbell, his longtime friend and muse, when she led
