Skype Invites eBay Users to Sign Up for New Calling Plan

eBay's Skype service introduced a new plan on Wednesday that gives users unlimited SkypeOut calling to any phone within the U.S. and Canada for $29.95 for the year. Skype announced the new calling plan on the eBay Announcement Board in the U.S., and invited users to sign up at an introductory rate of $14.95 for users who subscribe by January 31. Additionally, users who subscribe before January 31 will get an extra free hour of international calling and $50 in coupons for Skype related gear.

eBay sellers are allowed to include Skype buttons in their listings in certain categories. The SkypeMe buttons in eBay listings allow buyers to reach out to sellers through Skype.
