PayPal® offers a secure online payments environment for users purchasing subscriptions to Skype’s pre-paid premium services at the Skype Store at 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.
