E-Bay leveraging Skype - At last

Looks like VOIP services and auctioneering just started coming together. E-Bay will start to integrate Skype services into its auctioneering site so that people wanting to buy and see can finally start talking to each other.

This is a first step by E-Bay to start monetizing Skype’s services.

I wonder if this will bring a new paradigm into E-Commerce where Voice/Instant Messaging will become an integral part of doing business and lead to some kind of an "Instant" Marketplace.

Could be exciting.
