Even eBay's PeSA Lap Dogs Are Shunning Skype As A Sales Tool
Quote:Big eBay Users Shun Skype

Whitman is due to address investors Thursday morning... With Wall Street already concerned about eBay's growth, the CEO now faces criticism from a group of big eBay users who are miffed over Whitman's latest strategic stroke.

In October, eBay acquired closely held Internet phone company Skype...

Skype doesn't give me a capability that I already don't have," says Jonathan Garriss, executive director of the Professional eBay Sellers Alliance...

Garriss...says many high-volume eBay users won't sign up for Skype because they prefer to communicate with customers via email...

Quote:But an article this morning on investment site TheStreet.com casts some serious doubt about how some very influential members of the eBay community are looking at Skype as a bid and sales facilitator.

Actually, they aren't. At least many members of the Professional eBay Sellers Alliance, which is a group of about 900 high-volume eBay merchants.

Re: Even eBay's PeSA Lap Dogs Are Shunning Skype As A Sales Tool
I have no desire to talk to people who can't read and ask typical eBay questions like:

Q. How much is shipping?  A. Try reading the listing boinktard
Q. Do you take PayPal? A. Try reading the listing boinktard!

I'd have a very hard time biting my tongue  :twistedevil: with some of the questions eBay (and only eBay) buyers ask. 

I guess on the Skype thing I agree with the PeSA Lap Dogs.

Lap dogs.  ROTFL!
If I was still selling on eBay, I wouldn't use it either.  Corresponding through e-mail gives me time to THINK about my answer.  It is best when I am unable to say the first thing that comes to mind.

Daft eBay Spokesperson Durzy Clings to Dreams eBay Sellers Will Embrace Skype
Another article on sellers' plans to use Skype

Quote:EBay spokesman Hani Durzy acknowledged that Skype is not for every seller on eBay, particularly those peddling low-cost items that make for uncomplicated transactions. But sellers of big-ticket items have expressed enthusiasm about using Skype as a customer service tool, he said.

"We think a number of power sellers see the potential of this, even without having seen any integration or implementation of it," he said.
