Creating a Skype name

After you install Skype, you can create a Skype name and profile. This is the name that other people will use to contact you on Skype.

Note: If you already registered a Skype name on eBay, you can use that account to sign in to the Skype application. You don’t have to create a new Skype name.

Signing In to Skype
