universe making ease for the masses. The focus of the research was on online
selling and buying, and the factors are limited in Pakistan that influences the

guidelines that the find and see on outdated sources, such as television, and these
online traders are turning towards authentic sources, such as blogs and review
sites or social groups and pages for the information of goods and services.
Research has also provided that online traders quest for external sources of
information about goods and services especially from personal contacts such as
friends and social community members. (Penn and Zalesne, 2007).
Steven, Edwards, Leeb and Ferulic, (2013), in their research stated that most of
the online entities are currently busy in tactics and techniques of building
relationships to reduce the trust deficit and enhance authenticity. They suggested
that an illusion of familiarity and fondness that motivates feelings of liking and

similar to them. Therefore, individuals tend to exchange information with those
who have similar values, beliefs or norms. Perceived similarity contributes to the
development of close relationships, and will lead to greater levels of social
affiliation. From this perspective, individuals tend to be more influenced by the
norms and values of similar ones. (Yaqin X. and Yi, 2018)

The perceived expertise is also predicted to have a positive effect on informational
and normative influence. People seek information from individuals with perceived
expertise to reduce risks. Consumer expertise affects the knowledge for a product
for choice. The theory of social comparison postulates that people attempt to make
a better choice with the help of the others that are better than themselves. (Yaqin
X. and Yi, 2018)

others” and has been shown to be positively associated with consumer behaviors
of online shopping. This can be concluded as the expectation of the consumers
from the online purchase they are doing. (Lee et al., 2012).

Perception can be developed from the past experiences of the customer or it could
flow through the word of mouth. This perception could be different for different
