New service like an 'eBay for money'

SAN FRANCISCO It's called people-to-people lending. It's like an eBay for money. Lenders make their decisions based on borrowers' descriptions. Credit ratings are ranked from AA, which is excellent, to HR, for high risk.

Consumers can look for consolidation loans, or loans for weddings, college, even buying a dream home. Lenders bid on each consumer. The more people who bid, the lower the interest rate. The most one can borrow is $25,000.
