    I don't think they will track ip if we talk via skype. because, skype is now available in android, iphone, pc and almost where ever internet is.

    Skype is now owned by Microsoft while PayPal is owned by eBay. You're dealing with two different companies so the chances of tracking IP address is pretty "low".

    Hey dude,

    Thats a good question and I had that one in my mind for a while. It was a bit of relief when Skype was sold to MS. They surely would have had some tracking system for Skype.

    See, skype is voice based, but when you dial a number from skype you are logged into your skype account and when you call a paypal/ebay number from that, they certainly might have been tracking, and would have linked your skype acc to your paypal account.

    But now that skype has been sold, there are less chances of paypal/ebay tracking us using skype, but it can not be ruled out. so take necessary precautions if you have multiple PP accounts.

    as stated by Gladiator, VPN is the solution if your worried about security related issues..Once on VPN, you will not have to be worried about whether someone is tracking you or not as you will be assigned a totally new IP by the VPN server..And then freedom it would be ;)
