Skype, Jyve & Click&Buy


Jyve teamed up with Click&Buy to process online payments made by community users seeking expert, monetizable advice. Click&Buy's commission rate: 15 percent. Skype says its new Skype Prime product is still in the very early stages of its lifecycle and was "built from the ground up" just like Skype itself. And who are we to say it wasn't? Perhaps they were just too slow about releasing it. But you have to admit the timing's fishy, and the 30 percent commission seems inordinately steep, considering two lesser-known competitors (without the leverage of 171 million users and all that eBay money) are offering a similar – really similar – service for half the price.
