  • Abstract
    Information asymmetry and the buyer´s information deficit reduces buyers´ willingness to pay, and in extreme cases can lead to market collapse. buySAFE´s certification of sellers and bonding their transactions for amounts up to $25,000 improve buyers´ information endowment, increase willingness to pay, and increase sellers´ margins and total revenues. The company is moving beyond its initial positioning on eBay to become a more general guarantor of online transactions
