"WSJ: Microsoft to buy Skype for $7bn. Rest of world: for real?". 10 May 2011. A Microsoft purchase would not be the first time Skype has been bought out; after being started in 2003, it was bought by eBay in 2005 for $3.1 billion. eBay then sold the majority of its stake in 2009 to a private investment group for $1.2 billion less than it paid.
