EBAY ANIMAL WORLD AND
BUNCH OF JOKERS
Recently ebay bought SKYPE (Voice over internet) for 2.6
billion USD.
This is what EBAY CEO-Meg Whitman had to say
Meg Whitman
I’m excited to let you know that eBay plans to acquire Skype, the
leader in online voice communications.
Skype has set a new standard in online voice communications with
outstanding sound quality and unmatched ease of use. And like eBay,
Skype has a fast-growing community -- some 54 million Skype users around
the world already use their PCs to talk with one another.
And best of all, conversations between Skype users via PC are free. You
can get up and running on Skype in just a few minutes. Just go to
http://www.skype.com/go/x.home to learn more and download the free Skype
software application. Try it ,its fun!
Over time, we intend to make voice communications a part of the eBay
marketplace . A huge step forward in making transactions faster and
easier, as well as bringing even more interactivity and humanity to the
eBay Community.
After reading this I asked Ebay
Customer support this question-
MY QUESTION IS- CAN I USE MY SKYPE
NAME IN MY LISTINGS?I have been using Skype for some time now.
Regards
Rakesh Jain
The reply I received from Customer Uncare Support
