Skype offers PayPal option

The ever-useful VoIP provider Skype is now offering users the ability to pay using PayPal:

PayPal offers a secure online payments environment for users purchasing subscriptions to Skype's pre-paid premium services at the Skype Store at www.skype.com. PayPal acts as an online wallet giving buyers the flexibility to select how they want to pay for their purchase – via credit cards, banking accounts or stored balance. Skype has added PayPal as an additional payment mechanism following an extensive review of the market and a beta trial of PayPal amongst Skype customers.


Such a move should certainly open up the possible user base for the service - just another step on the seemingly relentless march of VoIP.
