Andale Announces Skype Support in Andale Lister Products

Andale, Inc. today introduced support of Skype Internet telephony.

Sunnyvale, CA, August 1, 2006—Andale, Inc. (app.vendio.com), one of the largest providers of listing tools and research services for sellers on eBay, today introduced support of Skype Internet telephony within Andale’s Lister and Lister Pro auction listing management tools.

Andale Lister and Lister Pro users can now easily add a "Skype" button to their eBay auction listings, enabling interested buyers to communicate directly with the seller via voice, chat, or both. Especially important as an auction is ending, sellers using Andale's listing tools and Skype can now respond instantly to questions, resulting in a higher sales success rate.

Enhanced buyer-seller communication helps sellers build trust with buyers when buying complex or high-priced items, allows sellers to answer questions quickly and easily, and turns prospective buyers into repeat customers.

"We are pleased to offer our sellers the ability to use Skype within our Andale Lister product”, said Ravi Garikipati, Chief Executive Officer of Andale, “We continually strive to make our Lister the best in the market. We believe that adding features such as Automatic Second Chance Offers, enhanced Best Offer options or the ability to utilize the Skype offering will greatly improve our value to our sellers."

Andale will offer the ability for users to add the Skype button in the following categories: Automotive GPS Devices; Lenses & Filters; Routers wired; Skype Devices; Internet Telephony; Diamond Solitaire Rings; Manufacturing and metalworking; beds; NBA Basketball; Silver Coin; Lost in Space; and Radio Control and Passenger Car.
