eBay expects PayPal revenues to double by 2011 to roughly $4-5 billion in sales. PayPal reported $2.4 billion of sales last year, or about 30% of eBay’s $8.5 billion of overall sales.

The company also expects Skype to be a $1 billion business in 2011. eBay’s Communications business — Skype — reported $551 million in sales last year. So that’s about 80% growth in three years.
