During the shopping season, the amount of online payment will reach 1 billion 500 million dollars.

Australia's National Bank also found that online payments rose nearly 12% in October.

EBay Australia communications manager Megan English said that December 7th will be confirmed as Australia's busiest online shopping day, although it is very close to Christmas, but considering the issue of delivery time, it is not possible to pull these two activities together.

"We have an analytical team in eBay, and they calculate the expected value through calculation."

She said, "Sunday will be the busiest day for the website, because it's already very close to Christmas, so we should have a psychological orientation for this online shopping."

EBay expects to have a record breaking capacity of 2 million 600 thousand people at the Australian station this weekend, and the volume of products will reach 510 thousand, an increase of 23% over last year.

Ms English said that more than 16% shoppers will visit websites through mobile terminals this year, which will be more interested in local retailers.

"As the Australian dollar depreciates, we see that consumers are more interested in local sellers.

For local retailers, this year's Christmas shopping season will be very aggressive.

Payment company eWay predicts that online payment will exceed 1 billion 500 million dollars in December, and 17 thousand of businesses will provide more than 400 million US dollars (319 million dollars last year).

It is reported that as of the end of October this year, Australian consumer spending online shopping has more than 16 billion 190 million U.S. dollars, the Australian state bank said this week, this figure increased by 11.9% over last year, but this accounted for only 6.8% of the total retail payment.
