A recent study by PayPal recently did a study looking into customer behavior when shopping online. They found that price was not the overall determining factor when customers bought items online. It is important that online services provide complete customer service before, during and after a purchase, including quick site speed, accessibility, after sales service and the ability to exchange goods. The research done by PayPal also found that customer registration requirement for small sites accounted for 68% of customers turning away from their purchase.
