Skype- Is it Really Worth $4.1 Billion

 Tech Search

We’ve finally seen more plans for eBay-Skype integration, and the upshot of them are clear: eBay got played for a sucker when it paid up to $4.1 billion for Skype.
The newest plans show that there will be a new SkypeMe “Ask The Seller a Question” feature in 14 of eBay U.S categories. In addition, Skype will be used to let people people make customer service calls to eBay. And there will also be Skype-PayPal integration.

No arguing with all that; that’s very nice.

But is it $4.1 billion nice? I think not. Will any of these features add substantial revenue to eBay, or significantly reduce the cost of the company’s doing business?

No, certainly not.

Will they allow eBay to extend its reach to new customers, and expand the size of its audience?
