When you post to Craigslist you ultimately are going to enter into a negotiation where you and the other party agree to price, date of exchange, product condition, etc.

With Uber you are making a one-sided negotiation in which the other party doesn't know what terms you'd like. You can pay more to potentially get better terms, but you don't know how much more to pay or how much better it will make those terms.
