Gao and Liu (2010) investigate that the topic of satisfaction has been debated widely in traditional retailing research (e.g. Oliver 1997; Taylor and Baker 1994; Anderson and Mittal 2000; Szymanski and Henard 2001 Caceres and Paparoidamis 2007). However, the analysis of factors and determinations of satisfaction in online market environment is still at an initial stage (Heiner et al., 2004). The communications in the traditional shopping are generally focus on face to face activities between service personal and customer, during the time interactions in online market take place generally through the firm website.
While interactions in the real-world shopping are mainly based on face-to-face activities between consumers and service personnel, interactions in e-commerce take place mainly through the retailer’s website (Park and Kim, 2003). Therefore, customer satisfaction is achieved in the interactions between customer and e-commerce website. Customer perceived website attributes determine his online shopping satisfaction. Recently, some researchers have started to investigate how the attributes of a website will influence customers’ satisfaction. These studies have presented various characteristics as important factors for an effective B2C e commerce website; however, up to now there is no consensus on how these factors affect online customer satisfaction (Schaupp and Bélanger, 2005).
