It was also used at Amazon which, for £14.95, sent the sexually explicit film Nymphomaniac and the violent, 16-certificate computer game Call Of Duty: Ghosts, for £16.11.
Other online transactions included a £24.95 two-inch blade from SwissTool.co.uk,Ray Ban Clubmaster Sizes, and a £7.98 tube of Loctite super glue from B Q.
It was also used to buy alcohol in a pub.

'As part of this process, we will clearly communicate to parents the potential risks involved with allowing their children to buy things online.’
