Skype and eBay Live Auctions
There’s one thing that’s certain in this world: almost no blogger is writing about eBay Live Auctions.
(Notice I didn’t say zero bloggers, Ro — there are at least two, right? You and Cindy?).
Sellers are still asking how eBay will integrate with Skype. Well, one of the more natural applications seems to be eBay Live Auctions.
For those that aren’t aware, eBay Live auctions are actually “live” auctions with a group of bidders. The bidding action is controlled by this Java application which I’m told is somewhat cumbersome.
Seems like a fit for Skype to me. You have to have real-time communication with several different members at the same time. Couldn’t this part of the Live Auctions experience be built on the Skype platform?
