I think for them to be owned in full or even in larger part by eBay would horribly damage that, so I can understand why one might want to prevent eBay getting both feet in the door. If the complaint is accurate though, it's been gone about in the wrong way completely.

I like to make as much profit as I can... why wouldn't anyone else? It's not like Newmark and Buckmaster themselves haven't made enough out of the highly profitable cash cow otherwise known as Craigslist I’m trying to work out what’s wrong with maximizing profits?
