It is not owned by eBay, it is owned by Microsoft.

ebay sold the company to MICROSOFT nearly 3 years ago.

And yes, they could and they did link you with skype back in those bad days.


to expand, I still have a note of a post by the user iamjustme.

He used the same credit card to pay skype and got linked to an account.

OK, this was ages ago. But I know it used happen.

Wow did not know that, glad it changed hands that would of been a big trap that I'd walk into unknowing , that's why I keep my ebay business separate from anything else I do just in case

List of acquisitions by eBay - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Only thing that they currently own that I have to be careful with is gumtree.

Useful this.

North American users need to be more aware of potential issues with ebay's fingers being in more pies ( so to speak).

Just looked at all the companies and the money they spent is unbelievable , ebay is taking over the world that's why they can do whatever they want to us. What a great idea just amazing how much money they made. Good for them, even know that put us through so much agony , they have a great place that's makes us money you just need to know how to play the game, just like anything else

Nice razz on their failed venture - China has high control of its own territory which can make outside penetration rough
