Shops, as trust is regarded as an important factor under conditions of uncertainty and risk in traditional theories. Mager et al[1995] developed a model which combines traditional marketing philosophy on consumer motivation to buy and the trust model. In this model, trust propensity, which is a personality trait possessed by buyers is an important behavior of trust. In the internet there’s not much to say to the buyer concerning the seller, prior to buying. A buyer with readiness to trust is more likely to become a potential customer than that is less ready.
Mayer et al[1995] proposed that ability ,benevolence and integrity accounts for the main elements of trustworthiness. Ability refers to skills, competencies and characteristics that a seller has in a specific domain. In these circumstances sellers need to convince buyers of the competence of their companies in the internet shopping business. Decency is the extent to which the seller is perceived by the buyer as wanting to “do well”. Sellers have to convince buyers that they genuinely want to so good things for buyers, rather than just maximize profit.

    Creating value from your five year old broken down computer in order to purchasing a new computer; first, I must research where and who has the lowest prices for that particular computer model you have in mind. Second, it becomes necessary to tell the store sales person that for the same model another store offered a lower price, and can he beat their price? This is a way to create value by focusing on the underlying interests of the disputing parties -- what do they want and what way can I overcome them. Give them something they want, and seem that they are getting the better deal? Thirdly, deception and manipulation are two ways to get your product to some degree-just watch any television commercials and you will see what I mean.

    111). The main reason why this is one of my favorite aspects of this book is that it encourages “reasonable down-selling” (Spoelestra, 1997, p. 112). I think that too often salespeople try to only upsell customers, and that can end in a bad experience for the customer, or not sale for the organization at all. I believe that if all salespeople abide by this rule, then organizations will be more successful, as customers will actually be purchasing something they actually want and will enjoy, which increases the chance that they will be a repeat
