Online Retailers getting more popular

If current trends continue, online retailers could outstrip the popularity of high street giants, according to TNS Worldpanel.

In its annual top 10 list of the
favourite retailers in the UK, Amazon came a close second to
supermarket chain Tesco, and eBay made it in at number 10.

TNS Worldpanel Research manager Elaine
Giles is convinced that online retailers would become more popular
than established high street names if current internet
shopping-trends continue. This statement is supported by the fact
that eBay shot from 42nd place among Britons' favourite retailers in
2006, 15th in 2007 and 10th in 2008. Amazon was 21st three years ago.
