A New Way to Ebay

Remember when eBay acquired Skype and everyone was wondering, "what were they thinking?" Well, they just released a new program that will integrate Skype into the auction process. This may just be a way to increase your auction performances and will definitely be of use to small business owners that rely on the service to increase their sales.

You'll now be able to add a little "Skype Me" button to your listing, but so far, eBay has limited the test to:

The following categories:

Automotive GPS devices Other real estate
Lenses & Filters Manufacturing and metalworking
Routers, wired Beds
Skype Devices Basketball-NBA
Internet Telephony Coin silver
Diamond solitaire rings Lost in space
Residential homes Radio control
Commercial homes Passenger cars

At least it is free, but you will need to register with Skype to use this feature. If your auctions have a lot of clicks, but not a lot of action, you may want to give this a try.
