  • Description: Online shopping is significantly increasing worldwide and is showing a continuous potential in terms of growth, security, price and shopping convenience. A constant 11 % increase in online retail revenues suggests that online orders are increasing and will grow steadily to $370 billion in 2017 (Abramovich 2014). This growing trend might be also advantageous for second-hand online retailers as it has been reported that one third of consumers buy more second-hand goods compared to previous years (Chahai 2013). Second-hand online shopping is one of the industries that everlastingly remain unaffected even if it undergoes any economic circumstances (Heller 2011) as recession might even have a positive effect on sales growth of second-hand goods. Currently, at least seven out of ten customers have purchased second-hand goods, such as DVDs, CDs, books or adult clothing (Chahai 2013). Since the second-hand industry has been predicted to grow steadily, second-hand retailers need to have a better understanding of their target market’s initial beliefs and their purchase intentions of second-hand goods. Thus, our study investigates how initial beliefs, trust and perceived value influence intentions to purchase second-hand goods from unknown online retailers. To achieve the objective of the study, we conducted an online survey with 251 respondents who purchase second-hand goods from online retailers. Respondents were recruited using online social communities (i.e., Myspace and Facebook). Our findings suggest that information on safety and reliability that second-hand good online retailers present on their websites affects customer intentions to purchase second-hand goods from those retailers. The perceived safety of the website translates into positive perceptions about second-hand goods and contributes to customer purchase intentions from that online retailer. This research offers implications with a practical focus on maximising purchases of second-hand goods sold online.
