Online marketplace eBay UK is set to introduce Internet telephony services from Skype on its site, following its acquisition of the company last year.
The new service will let sellers add Skype functions including free Internet voice calls and instant messaging to their listings across a range of categories.
Sellers will be able to include a “Skype Me” button on the eBay.co.uk listings page that buyers see.
By clicking the button, buyers will be able to talk to sellers or use Skype instant messenger at no cost to ask about items and discuss deliveries or postage.
