Abstract
With the increase of Internet users, the numbers of clicks on the websites of Internet vendors have grown considerably. However, vendors have experienced disappointment in converting these clicks into purchases. Lack of trust is identified as one of the greatest barriers inhibiting Internet transaction (Hoffman et al., 1999). Trust is argued to affect purchase intention of new customers (Jarvenpaa et al., 2000) and the loyalty of repeat customers (Gefen, 2002).
