Ed Adkins points out a website to me called Zopa - what they’re calling “The first lending and borrowing exchange:
What we do is very simple: we put people who want to lend in touch with creditworthy people who want to borrow. And because there?s no middleman ? the borrower just pays a 1% exchange fee to Zopa up front ? both benefit.
It would be cool if this worked…. That’s all I’m going to say, since I don’t want to be negative =) I guess people did think Omidyar was crazy for thinking eBay would work…
