Hi everyone, this is Don Albert, from the Skype North America team. As you probably know, in June we introduced the option for sellers in select test categories to put Skype buttons on their listings. Buyers and sellers alike have really enjoyed the opportunity to resolve questions quickly and easily, while also improving trust in the process.

As a result we are expanding to include more categories. Starting today Skype will be available to add to listings in Motorcycles, Special Vehicles, Cell Phones & Portable Electronics, Camera & Photo, Baby, Travel, and additional areas of Collectables. A complete list of all eligible categories can be seen here.

How to add Skype
When you use the Sell Your Item form to list in one of these categories, you'll be able to choose to add either a Chat or Voice button (or both) to your listings. Buyers just need to click on the buttons, register for Skype (if they haven't already done so), and then send their message. It's fast, it's easy, and it's free.

Sincerely,

Don Albert
Vice President and GM, Skype North America
