Drawbacks of Ecommerce

Trust Within E-commerce

caseyanderson01 — 2015-12-17 09:49:25 UTC

- When buying from a "trusted" company you expect a decent level of quality from the provider, alongside other things such as good policy, and respectable customer service.

- If the quality of a product is sub-par and the company doesn't make some sort of effort to sort it out and make improvements, then the consumer will likely lose trust in the company.

- Assurance and feedback is important when it comes to trust within e-commerce.
