> Ebay doesn't have lots of users in territories that Skype does (Nordic and South America for one). Ebay is not interested in those territories anyway as they don't operate Paypal in South America and even if someone wants to buy stuff there, there is no way they can pay nor ship goods from US to Argentina. >There'll be increased integration with Ebay and Skype for certain Ebay sites. There are opensource clients available to integarate, if that was the reason. Azureus - BitTorrent Client, the most sought after Filesharing software on Sourceforge that works on Linux could be a good candidate to add Voice to it and make this a part of greater Ebay Solution. But I agree that it is good for the Skype founders.

Ebay doesn't have lots of users in territories that Skype does (Nordic and South America for one). Skype will utilise PayPal for all payment systems. There'll be increased integration with Ebay and Skype for certain Ebay sites. Whether it's worth the money they paid, who knows? I'm sure the Skype founders are happy, as are the investors who put in $35m.
