Skype Users Will Be Able to Seamlessly Send Payments to Other Users
At this week’s VON Conference and Expo, Skype CEO Niklas Zennstrom annouced that Skype users will soon be able to send payments to other Skype users via PayPal. Although Zennstrom stated that Skype is working with PayPal, no exact timeframe was given on when we might see this capability within the Skype messenger.
With the recent announcement of Skype Prime, it is clearly evident that Skype is looking to drive further revenues through marketplace creation and payment processing further leveraging their massive user base. While it has taken longer than expected for eBay, PayPal, and Skype to fully integrate one another offerings, it seems of late, that there has been an increase in urgency for the companies to work together.
Even though none of the current service integrations have been spectacular, or even highly successful, I still believe at some point, there will be a “complete online business” offering coming out eBay, that includes a website, an eBay store, payment gateway and accounting system through PayPal, and business communications through Skype. If that happens, watch out.
