Sorry-- I made an egregious mistake. Forget the above. What I meant to say is:

Yes, especially if you change 'transaction' to 'transaction's'. The sentence would rightly read: A later attempt may result in the transaction's being accepted.

Is it possible to leave out "being" here and say this?
A later attempt may result in the transaction accepted.
