I can't say that I'm impressed. What will this be, other than new links spewed over the Skype client?

This is PayPal begging and pleading for their lives and making partnerships anywhere they can before Google (and Microsoft) crushes them out of existance. This particular partnership is silly, anyone who uses skype has an email address and can paypal directly to any other email address. In fact it's just PayPal teaching customers there is one more place you can enter your password that is not https paypal.com, which is a bad idea. Personally I cannot wait until there are more reasonable, widespread alternatives. [edited by: amznVibe at 6:46 am (utc) on Mar. 21, 2007]

I dont get you amznVibe.
IMO this is normal approach because PayPal & Skype are owned by eBay. So, they are just promoting PayPal for free. | Both Skype and PayPal are units of online auction leader eBay Inc |
|
OTOH I like Skype because its simple and if they will fill it with tons of additional feature, they can loose the market.

Pretty soon I should be able to buy a soda from a vending machine with my Skype phone with Paypal as the payment method.

that is interesting. I never know its the same company as paypal :) lol Becuase initially skype used to accept moneybookers only. I guess it would tie up with others and start accepting and sending payments through multiple gateways. Just the way our banks work ;)
