SKYPE in listings - Do you use it??

meerustar

I've not got Skype, to be quite honest I don't really know much about it, but have just noticed an Ad on eBay asking you to add Skype to your listing so you can talk to your buyers ...

I know its software and you have to have a microphone but thats about it, lol.

Does anyone hears use it or considered it? Any pros .. cons ???

It's like a phone number through your computer, hence the mic. You can get VOIP (voice over IP) phones that plug in, too. You can also use it like a chat program, like ICQ or messenger.

I hesitate to put my details up... for one thing, I'd be on dubious territory taking ebay calls at work on a work computer!

I do IT support... you wouldn't believe the questions I get asked :rolleyes:

Today I got someone to email me a screenshot of a 'problem' they were having.

When I confirmed I had received it, they asked if I could fix their computer... by tinkering with the screenshot 30 miles away! :eek:

I have Skype (not via ebay) it is great for chatting with family and friends, and it is free via computer, much the same as messenger live etc...
