To be fair, Kijiji is actually one counterexample of a tech service that does have some limited competition, because Facebook Marketplace exists, but only because you can easily use both at the same time.

Kijiji was designed to compete with Craigslist, yes, but in a space that eBay had incidentally already moved into. Before Kijiji was born, eBay introduced 'Buy It Now' functionality, essentially making them an online classifieds (for goods only) and auction site. And truth be told, I can't remember the last time I bought something on eBay as an auction. If I want it, I either use 'Make an offer' or 'Buy it now'.
eBay also had eBay Motors, and then they bought AutoTrader.com.
