A major new survey by PayPal, the online payment gateway, suggests that online sales are set to double over the next two years as shoppers turn their backs on the high street in favour of online shopping.
The report carried out by Experian reveals that nearly 9 million adults shop online in the UK at least once a week. As an emerging retail growth area, e-commerce is sometimes viewed as a sideswhow, an added extra with little bearing on real world sales. However, this misconception is due a correction as more consumers head for online stores instead of the high street.
