eBay is expected to announce Tuesday that it has reached a deal to sell its Internet telephone service, Skype, to a group of private investors, the New York Times reported late Monday.

The investment group will reportedly include Andreessen Horowitz, a venture capital group launched in July by Marc Andreessen, founder of Netscape and co-founder of Opsware, and Ben Horowitz, also co-founder of Opsware. A price was not revealed, but previous reports put eBay's asking price for Skype at about $2 billion.
