Skype co-founder Niklas Zennstrom revealed at a conference last week that the eBay-owned company would introduce payment functionality to the VoIP service. The company announced on Wednesday the availability of Skype 3.2 Beta for Windows that has that capability, called Send Money. It allows users to send money to other Skype users via PayPal, which is also owned by eBay.
