Abstract
This study analyzes the marginal willingness to pay for attributes influencing consumer trust and purchasing decisions regarding products whose quality is only determinable post-purchase. Six attributes were examined: price, number of reviews, star rating, review type (text, picture, video), text review length, and shopping platform. A conjoint survey, categorizing brands as famous or nonfamous, was analyzed using a multinomial logit model. Results show consumers prioritize high star ratings, numerous reviews, and trustworthy platforms, even at higher prices. Nonfamous brands necessitate higher willingness to pay across all attributes.
