Cologne, 15 October 2009 - German online shoppers are increasingly going abroad. British e-commerce shops are particularly attractive for German customers, who are making one out of ten purchases in the UK. One year before, the ratio was less than one out of twenty. This is one of the results of the E-Commerce Report 2009, which was recently published by Deutsche Card Services. In contrast to other research, the study of the Deutsche Bank subsidiary on "Trends in E-Commerce Purchasing and Payment Behaviour" is based on real-life transactions, not on surveys. The database consists of roughly 30 million purchase transactions processed via the platform of Deutsche Card Services between October 2007 and September 2008. The purchases were made in all e-commerce-relevant sectors such as retail, services or travel & entertainment. [more]
