eBay to buy skype?
There’s talks around the water cooler that eBay may buy Skype for $4 billion. That’s right…$4 billion!
They apparently want to generate some other sources of revenue, which is a load of crap. Yes it will be another source of revenue, but it’s because eBay has done a piss poor job of keeping sellers happy that many of them are jumping ship, which of course translates to eBay getting less money.
I can imagine how this service can also help sellers and buyers, especially in terms of customer service. I wouldnt be surprised if they integrate this into their services and allow for buyers to contact sellers directly. This could be a great option, but then again, having sold on eBay before, I would not be able to stand constantly being interrupted by other eBayers.
All in all, this can be a great deal for Skype, although I wish they would just stay away from eBay and join a company like Amazon.com.
We’ll see.
