This result is similar to Chen and Stuart’s (2007) study which found that
perceived good reputation is the important antecedent of trust in online shopping.
Both good reputation and trust created a positive impact on purchase intention.
Based on Jarvenpaa et al’s (2000) study, it was found that there is a major impact
between website reputation of an online store and consumers’ trust. In addition,
Quinton et al. (2008) studied trust and online wine purchasing in the United
Kingdom. This study reported that there is a rational basis to formulate the level
of trust in a web site based on knowledge and reputation which help customers to
differentiate products or services.
