Online Shopping Spend in Decline

[Matt]

Online shops are suffering the same fate as the high street with fewer customers spending money.

US net measurement firm found that online shopping was in decline for the first time since it began measuring it in 2001.

Online shoppers in the US spent $8.2bn (£5.3bn) in November, down 4% on last year's figures.

ComScore forecast flat growth for the upcoming Christmas shopping season and did not rule out further decline.
