I spent a while hunting down this sort of information myself but to no avail.

Despite all the press that e-commerce gets there are surprisingly few decent

UK secure e-commerce sites (that I could find anyway!)


There's a decent list of secure e-commerce sites at


http://www.shopguide.co.uk/

which you might find useful.


With regards to the e-commerce big boys such as DELL and QVC (just launching

a UK site) I'm pretty sure that a large chunk of what has been developed for

their US sites is simply technology that they re-package and re-use over this

side of the pond. Therefore in the case of the multinationals a true

comparison can't really be made.


Some useful information primarily on the US market can be found at
