eBay talking to buy Skype?

Doesn't seem like the Times can vouch for the depth of the discussions, but apparently there are "highly tentative"
talks going on right now with eBay trying to buy Skype for, what, like, two, three billion? You know, chump change.
Skype's already been bounced from Yahoo after they couldn't pull together a deal. eBay, this move is so you. You're all about the appearance of getting a deal, when in actuality you end up paying way too much for something you don't really need anyway.
