Thank-you for your request for online data. We are unable to supply some of the data you requested, but what we can supply is described below.

Average weekly expenditure in the UK is not available, but we do have data that approximates this by looking at online sales for GB retailers. Table ISCPNSA2 (internet sales, in current prices, non-seasonally adjusted) provides this data.

Monthly sales are available in the ad hoc data set “Average weekly and monthly online sales in Great Britain” along with a longer term time series for the average weekly series found above. This data set includes both non-seasonally adjusted and seasonally adjusted data.

Average monthly/weekly revenues for online retailers are not available as such, but the turnover figures, given in the sales figures above provides a proxy for this.

Table 12 of the ONS 'Internet Access - Households and Individuals' release provides information on the proportion of adults (aged 16+) in GB that have made an internet purchase in the last 12 months. The table provides data from 2008 to 2014 and splits by gender and age group.
