As a percentage of net revenues

     1.8     1.3     16.3

Interest and other income, net, consists of interest earned on cash, cash equivalents and investments, as well as foreign exchange transaction gains and losses, our portion of operating results from investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting, interest expense consisting of interest charges on the amount drawn under our credit agreement and certain accrued contingencies. Included in cost of net revenues, and income from other miscellaneous transactions not related to our primary operations such as the gain on sale of Skype in 2009. Interest and other income, net excludes interest related to Bill Me later, which is included in cost of net revenues.

Interest and other income, net increased $1.3 billion during 2009 as compared to 2008. The increase was primarily due to the gain on sale of Skype of $1.4 billion (please see “Note 4 — Sale of Skype” for additional information). The gain on the sale of Skype was partially offset by a decrease in interest income of $86.5 million due to lower interest rates that were earned on lower average cash, cash equivalents and investments balances. The weighted-average interest rate of our cash and interest bearing investments portfolio decreased to 1.13% in 2009 from 3.5% in 2008.

Interest and other income, net decreased $29.8 million, or 22%, in 2008 as compared to 2007 due primarily to lower cash, cash equivalents and investments balances and lower interest rates, fewer borrowings and lower interest rates on our credit agreement as well as losses from our portion of unconsolidated joint ventures and investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting, offset in part by foreign currency exchange gains. In addition, as a result of the acquisition of Bill Me Later, we include a portion of interest expense within cost of net revenues which represents our estimated cost of funds associated with Bill Me Later loan activity. The weighted-average interest rate of our cash and interest bearing investments portfolio decreased to 3.5% in 2008 from 4.2% in 2007.

Interest and other income, net

   $ 26,744     $ 18,092  

As a percentage of net revenues

     1.2 %     0.9 %

Interest and other income, net, consists of interest earned on cash, cash equivalents and investments, as well as foreign exchange transaction gains and losses, our portion of unconsolidated joint venture and equity investment results, interest expense consisting of interest charges on the amount drawn under our credit agreement and certain accrued contingencies, excluding interest related to Bill Me Later, which is included in cost of net revenues, and other miscellaneous transactions not related to our primary operations.

The decrease in interest and other income, net, during the first quarter of 2009, as compared to the same period of the prior year, was due primarily to lower interest income generated by lower interest rates that were earned on lower average cash, cash equivalents and investments balances during the first quarter of 2009.

Interest and other income, net, increased slightly during the third quarter of 2008 as compared to the same periods of the prior year. Interest and other income, net, decreased 11% during the first nine months of 2008 due to lower interest income generated by lower interest rates earned on lower average cash, cash equivalents and investments balances.
 
For the remainder of 2008, compared to the same period in 2007, we expect interest and other income, net, to decrease based primarily on lower interest rates and level of invested assets.
