Indigo Trust Gaps in Digital Exchange: Marketplace Business Models Connecting Buyers and Sellers for Profit | Erin Mills Town Centre

This book examines how trust gaps, manifested as uncertainty about counterpart reliability, transaction safety, and platform fairness, affect the core function of marketplace business models to connect buyers and sellers profitably. It investigates the tension between the promise of frictionless exchange and the erosion of confidence that can undermine liquidity and revenue. The analysis focuses on three systemic mechanisms. First, reputation and review systems act as trust proxies by aggregating past behavior into visible scores; their effectiveness depends on review authenticity, recency weighting, and resistance to manipulation, which together influence conversion rates and repeat usage. Second, escrow and payment guarantee mechanisms shift risk from transacting parties to the platform, requiring robust KYC/AML checks, secure fund holding, and transparent dispute resolution to sustain trust without inflating friction costs. Third, network effects generate indirect trust: as more buyers and sellers join, the perceived safety of the platform rises, yet this same dynamic can accelerate distrust if negative experiences propagate quickly through dense interaction graphs. These mechanisms reveal that trust is not a static feature but a continuously negotiated output of design choices, governance rules, and user behavior.
