Ebay engages in Skype-talk… buyout, that is.

CNN Money reports that Ebay is in talks to buy Skype, the internet phone provider, for between 2 and 3 billion dollars.

As its core business matures, eBay is searching for new product categories and international markets, the report noted. The company has made a string of acquisitions and investments over the last year and a half to enter markets such as rental-property listings, online classified-ad listings and comparison shopping.

    sfleuriet Yes eBay owns PayPal as well. eBay is such a massive business they could buy as many other companies as their hearts desire. Pierre Omidyar, Founder and CEO of eBay, has a net worth of over $7 Billion! :eek:
