Meg Whitman was on CNBC this morning via phone to describe what they're actually thinking and apparently they want to brand eBay/Skype on the calls and do a pay-for-calls from buyers for the sellers on the site. They also talked a lot about a translation service they're doing where they hook up a third party who has registered as a translator... I guess 15% of eBay transactions cross a border or language barrier or something.
Still seems like an expensive acquisition though.
