I understand they are not for profit yet make some money, and are partially owned by ebay. I want to add something like this to my website, and I need to know If it could make any money? for that matter do any other free classifieds sites make money?

They're not totally free.

Its main source of revenue is paid job ads in select cities – $75 per ad for the San Francisco Bay Area; $25 per ad for New York City, Los Angeles, San Diego, Boston, Seattle, Washington D.C., Chicago, Philadelphia, Orange County (California) and Portland, Oregon – and paid broker apartment listings in New York City ($10 per ad).
