Media richness theory also explains how the limitations of electronic media for the senses, and uncertainty about the product due to limited sensory cues, increase the risk to the buyer (Daft and Lengel 1986). Contrary to expectations based on the previous arguments, sensory products are sold extensively at online auctions despite the rare use of rich media. Nevertheless, the characteristics of “look and feel” differentiated products, such as clothing (De Figueiredo 2000), make it difficult for buyers to fully assess their quality using online data alone. Consequently, sensory products have vulnerability in online auctions. Studies have found that sensory products have a higher rate of complaints associated with information failure than non-sensory products (Cho et al. 2002a). Sensory product problems are exacerbated in online auctions because returns are rarely accepted. Uncertainty associated with sensory products online includes uncertainty with fit (Hong and Pavlou 2010), texture, color and size. Photographs posted online do not always show the texture or true color. Although providing measurements can be helpful, consumers often misjudge the size, especially if the photograph does not have a point of comparison. This leads to the following hypothesis:
