CYCH is not one tenth the price of CUST. It is half, roughly speaking. But your point is noted and well taken. I was intending that AMZN would make this a proprietary technology, not for use by other etailers. They are control freaks.

If I'm not mistaken AMZN recently bought a similar company (sorry, I don't recall the name), and that's who's taking care of their transactions now. I must admit that when I first read the zShops release it gave me a bit of a heart palpitation. But now that I know that ZIXI has nothing to do with it, I see it as driving a stake through their heart. What possible advantage could a merchant have to set up on ZixMall when they can use AMZN? There is no advantage to the merchant or to the customer. Obviously AMZN thinks they're not going to have too much of a problem with fraud with their $250 guarantee on each transaction. Regards, Barb
