Online shopping becoming more popular

According to a Nielsen survey conducted among Internet users in 48 countries, 82 per cent of Hungarian net users have purchased something using the Internet. Whereas the most popular items in European e-commerce are books, clothing, DVD/computer games and airline tickets, in Hungary computer hardware ranks second. Food still only accounts for a minor part of online sales with 9 per cent in Europe and 5 per cent in Hungary. While the preferred method of payment in Europe is by credit card, Hungarians prefer to pay by postal order.
