Hello again webuserid-ga,
Thank you for your question.
I was able to do this research in Romania as the Romanian language is
similar to Spanish which I am fluent in. Given that I located only
four websites that can be classified as food retailers I am providing
you with more than five non-food retail websites. Internet
demographics and statistical data on internet penetration can be found
in the last part of this answer.

According to an international study Global eCommerce Report 2002 by
TNS Interactive, in 2002, only 2% of the online population in Romania
are online shoppers.
According to TNS, the reason for not shopping online is due to the low
level of credit cards ownership, the low number of online shops, the
fact that online banking is at a low level, that legislation on
security of transactions does not exist in this area and that payment
system are based on e-ordering with offline payment.
