American Express (AXP) logoAmerican Express (AXP) followed in Visa's (V) steps and announced a digital payment and commerce platform dubbed Serve, which enables the consumers to make purchases and person-to-person payments online via mobile phones and at merchants that accept American Express cards. MasterCard (MA) is also planning to launch its own offering for personal payments.

We estimate that American Express derives 73% of our $49.61 price estimate from card transaction and execution fees while Visa derives almost 29% of its $85.03 Trefis price estimate from transaction fees.

eBayWhen it comes to large acquisition deals, eBay (EBAY) has had a spotty history. Then again, the reason was usually that the transaction had only a tangential strategic connection (like Skype). But, when there were clear synergies, the results have been particularly strong. Just look at PayPal.

Well, it looks like eBay has learned this lesson. That is, the company's latest big deal is the $2.4 billion acquisition of GSI Commerce (GSIC).

As is no surprise, many companies are scrambling to be winners in the e-wallet space. Take American Express (AXP). The company has launched a new e-wallet called Serve.

The shares of eBay Inc. (EBAY), first discussed here on on May 14, 2009 at a price of $16.84, have pushed through psychological resistance at $30, and now may be a good time to consider taking some profits off the table with EBAY, if you're in at/near $17.

However, those investors who can tolerate the risk can maintain their full position, and go for an even larger gain, as EBAY is likely to continue to head north.

eBay's marketplace unit, displaying more than 140 million listings per day, should post a revenue rise of 6-8% in 2011. Meanwhile, PayPal, now in 190 markets, should register 20% revenue growth in both 2011 and 2012.

eBay logoeBay (EBAY), which competes with other e-commerce sites like Amazon.com (AMZN), Walmart (WMT), Overstock.com (OSTK), and Blue Nile (NILE), recently held an Investor Day in which the company discussed future growth areas and presented its business outlook through 2013. One notable highlight of the presentation was the company's expectation of rapid growth from its PayPal, Bill Me Later and StubHub businesses.

Here we examine eBay's growth areas in detail and the potential upside that it could add to our $32.81 stock price estimate, which stands slightly below market price.

eBay logoWe've oft heard the saying: "We must reinvent ourselves." This is the new mantra at eBay. According to chief executive John Donahoe: "Clearly, I hope you see that we are starting to play offense."

EBay (EBAY) has long been a dominant player in the e-commerce industry. Started in 1995, it has brought together buyers and sellers in an auction format. Now, 16 years later and highly successful, the company finds a new competitor in Amazon.com (AMZN), which is grabbing market share. In the meantime, eBay has acquired Paypal, as a wholly owned subsidiary. Paypal, an online payment service, helped to propel eBay's business transactions.

For the mega tech players, the mobile market is a massive opportunity. Although, it looks like the standout is Apple (AAPL). As a sign of it prowess, the company has a market value over $300 billion.

But the competitive environment is intensifying. Just look at Google (GOOG). Not long ago, its Android mobile operating system was considered an interesting side project. Now, it has become a juggernaut.

Yet the problem is that it has proven to be difficult to monetize. But Google is not giving up. In fact, it looks like the company is building a mobile payments platform - which may hit the market this year. This is according to a recent piece in BusinessWeek.com.

The fact that eBay (EBAY) is PayPal's largest merchant isn't exactly surprising. The auction market is huge, and it's also the online payment company's parent. Yet, the word out of the 2010 Media Summit in New York last week is that Zynga, the social media games company, is the second largest merchant for the payment environment. Social games are growing rapidly, bolstered in large part by the rise of Facebook, which now boasts around 400 million users.

As social media companies realize they need to move to the next level -- from adoption to revenue -- the virtual goods market has emerged as a substantial revenue stream, and Zynga's environment appears to have been designed to capitalize on it. According to an estimate by Citigroup (C) analyst Mark Mahaney, PayPal took care o$500 million in virtual goods payments last year.

When it comes to electronic payments, China is still in the early stages. But in light of its huge population and fast-growing economy, the potential is enormous.

So, eBay's (EBAY) PayPal is getting aggressive in the country. For example, the company has struck a partnership deal with China UnionPay, which is the biggest electronic payments provider in China.

But the payments market is undergoing another trend; that is, becoming an integral part of social networks. So this week, PayPal announced a deal to provide payment services to Facebook's massive user base, which now stands at 400 million.

It seems kind of strange, but the market for virtual goods has become red-hot. Basically, these are nothing more than digital footprints, such as cool graphics used as gifts on a social network or even weapons in online games.

So how big is this market? According to Atul Bagga, an analyst at ThinkEquity, the market is expected to double this year to $1.6 billion. And by 2012, the market may reach $3.6 billion.

The investors include the co-founders of Google (GOOG), Larry Page and Sergey Brin, and the founder is Elon Musk, who helped create PayPal.

The company's first car, which came on the market in 2008, is the Tesla Roadster. It can go from zero to 60 MHP in 3.9 seconds -- without any tailpipe emissions. On a single charge, the car can also go 236 miles. However, the price tag comes to a hefty $109,000.

While eBay (EBAY) has had a mixed record with M&A, there is no doubt that the company did pull off one of the best deals in Internet history: the purchase of PayPal (I included it in my recent piece entitled "The Best M&A Deals of the Decade").

Just how good? In eBay's latest quarterly report released Wednesday after the bell, PayPal was the growth driver as the company reported a 16% jump in revenues to $2.4 billion. Net income came to $1.4 billion, which was a nice increase from the $367 million in the same period a year ago. Taking out one-time items, the earnings were 44 cents per share. The consensus was 40 cents per share.

Jack Dorsey is accustomed to dealing in small. In 2006, he co-founded social media sensation Twitter, which traffics in content bites that are no more than 140 characters in length. He left his position as CEO a year ago (and remains chairman) and is now focusing on his newest endeavor: mobile payments. He came up with the idea for his new company, Square, a year ago and hopes it will revolutionize how money is exchanged.

The first product that Square is bringing to market lives up to its name: it's a small cube-shaped credit card terminal that can plug into an iPhone's headset jack. The problem that the device is intended to solve is the swift and easy transaction of credit card payments for anyone. It was inspired by the plight of Dorsey's friend, Jim McKelvey, a glass artist who lost a $2,000 sale because he couldn't accept credit card payments.

While eBay (NASDAQ: EBAY) has been working hard to manage its marketplace in a trying economy, its PayPayl business has been growing comfortably and could become the company's biggest earner. For the past two years, eBay has focused on improving the look of its website and helping buyers and sellers to get along in a virtual world built entirely on trust.

In the background, though, the segment of the business that moves money from Point A to Point B has been on fire. Even with payment processing competition from Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) and Google (NASDAQ: GOOG), PayPal has been able to do more than hold its own.

For some time, I've used PayPal, which is owned by eBay (NASDAQ: EBAY). For example, I recently paid a contractor in India using the service. It was extremely easy.

Well, I had a chance to talk to the Small Biz folks at PayPal and found out that there is much more to the service. In fact, PayPal can be a great way to boost your business.

Of course, PayPal makes it easy to leverage ecommerce. And the costs are competitive, with transaction fees ranging from 1.9 percent to 2.9 percent, plus a 30 cent fee. What's more, there is no need to get a merchant account (which can be a painful and expensive process).

One of the market's biggest criticisms of Google (NASDAQ: GOOG) is that it offers a large number of products that don't make the company money. To make matters worse, some of these offerings will probably never bring in a dime and that is a big drag on Google's margins.

The days of Google supporting odd projects that have no financial future may be over. Perhaps the recession has brought those times to an end, or it may be that the ability to keep track of dozens of unrelated engineering projects has become a burden to the firm's management. How many of these programs Google cuts will be a sign of how serious the company is about keeping its profits as high as possible.
