If only eBay could have spent some of that $2.6 billion on improving their buyer and seller protection schemes - not only on ebay but also PayPal.
Like Mr Noto in the BBC article I can see no benefit to eBay from buying Skype - which i find is overrated.
I hope the likes of Google Talk batter them to death

It’ll certainly be different without richie doing commentary on UK tv. Hopefully he can still do channel 9 coverage when the aussies are on sky.
Also good to see Jimmy Anderson recalled back to the test sqaud, whether he’ll get a game or not is another matter.
Also good news about using technology in umpiring decisions. To be fair the aussies seem to have had the worst of it this series, but who cares if we win!
Plus hopefully something will come of this. Lets hope C4 or the BBC can get cricket back. We don’t want sky having it all.
