Öz
Organizations use the internet to gain competitive advantage by using online platforms. E-shopping is a new and advance way in which consumers’ purchases goods and services. E- Shopping has indeed revolutionized the way consumers and producers relate in this new era of business. E-shopping is one of the fastest growing industries. Thus the study is conducted to examine the level of satisfaction customers’ gain in online shopping and also to determine what are the motivating factors behind online shopping as well as to investigate the problems associated with online shopping. The survey design was used for the study. Purposeful sampling was used for the study. The adopted online survey was used for the data collection. Descriptive analysis of the data revealed that consumers have different purchasing behaviour and decisions and this is what motivates them to shop online. The data gathered from the respondents indicates that convenience, time saving, variety of goods and services are the most important motivating factors. On the other hand, lack of trust, personal privacy and security of the customers’ personal information were among the factors that discourages consumers to shop online. Another problem associated with online shopping is too much adverts on the web pages; this according to the respondents is annoying and sometimes not comfortable with them as they block some pages and sometimes they tend to waste time waiting for the adverts to disappear. Further studies should be conducted in following years to observe the changes over time.
