Quote:fighting to convince skeptics that the deal, whose final price tag could reach $4.1 billion if bonuses are paid, was indeed a smart move... It ranks up there with Billpoint and Ebay Japan on the smart move scale. :asshat2:

Oh, man! I've been Skyped! [/quote]  Quote:Today, eBay sellers can place a "Skype Me" button next to their items on eBay so that buyers can call and discuss possible sales. EBay is also experimenting with using Skype software to transfer money between PayPal accounts, expanding the payment system to Skype. Oh GOODY! More ways for the scammers to get us!

Just based on the content of several ASQ I have received, I would be thrilled to get a call in the middle of the night from a buyer asking me "so do you do layaway?" :blinkie:
Another great idea from the land of bay.

Re: 1 year later eBay still trying to prove that sucky Skype purchase wasn't STUPID
Quote:After rising continuously since its inception, the total voice traffic over Skype, or the combined calling minutes of Skype users, fell for the first time in the quarter that ended on Sept. 30, by 7 percent to 6.6 billion minutes from 7.1 billion in the second quarter, Skype said. Not a good sign. |
