Amazon sold 426 items per second Christmas 2013. Their average order value in 2012 was around $47. Assuming the average value to be the same, it works out to around $1.2m per minute.

If the average order value is $47, for the average item value to also be $47 it would imply the average order size is one item. That seems highly unlikely.
