However, the rapid development of the industry is accompanied by “crisis of confidence” issue, because the disputes are arising from the increasing trend of major disputes generated by the lack of good credibility.

Now, to the online shopping of consumers, the only standard reference to the shops is just seller reputation, so naturally some of the illegal sellers used improper means to increase credibilities to trick consumers. Therefore, bad attitudes of shop sellers are common sense, and there even are people earning money by increasing shop popularity. Credulous consumers who were cheated are not few. A third-party platform for the establishment of credibility, or online shopping laws and regulations have been imperative.

After rapid growth in the initial period, the growth of the nuber of shoppers slowed down. By the end of 2006, the total number of shoppers in Chinese online shopping market was 43.1 million, increasing by 32.6% than that of last year. The number is predicted to reach 100 million in 2010.
