Okay - but both craigslist/ebay already have "protection" built in. They each have a proxy type of contact system already - craigslist even has a "roller" system if you will - the email.

If you learned tomorrow that craigslist had created exactly the same service and then added it to their ads, what then?

Scott, this is a risk for any idea. We believe that we will make it simple yet have lot of additional features that others don't have. If the service itself tries to implement this, it reinforces that we are solving a real problem :). We have our own business model and will continue to implement on them.
