Revenue per transaction ratchets down as merchants do more transactions I believe so revenue growth is not linear with merchants or transactions. Comparison with the Christmas qrtr is always difficult but many retailers have shown good comparisons so that is not a strong explanation.

All: from The Street.Com. Will Retailers Buy What Cybercash Builds? As more companies try to make the jump from traditional retailing to e-commerce, a wealth of services are springing up to meet their needs. The barriers faced by companies new to the Net include: finding good engineers and building a loyal customer base. Hoping to knock down these and other obstacles, Cybercash (CYCH:Nasdaq) is hoping to help "sticks and bricks" businesses move onto the Internet, as well as help Net companies buy offline businesses, Cybercash president James Condon said at the H&Q conference. Not everyone was sold on the pitch. Cybercash faces stiff competition from CheckFree (CKFR:Nasdaq), EDS (EDS:NYSE) and IBM (IBM:NYSE), among others. "They do provide an easy solution for the billing process," says one fund manager who sat in on the presentation and asked not to be named. "It's build vs. buy, but I want to learn more." -- Suzanne Galante
