• 98% of respondents have at least one fear about shopping on online marketplaces

• 29% of Americans are comfortable spending more than $100 on an online marketplace without first researching the seller

• More women than men take more safety precautions when shopping in online marketplaces

• The top three anxiety-inducing online shopping scenarios were: paying on sites that lacked secure encryption (22%), clicking on unsolicited offers via email or text (21%), and completing peer-to-peer transactions (17%)
