However,unlike dealing in the traditional market, the operator issues the false information in e-commerce market and make the conditions of information asymmetry becoming more seriously. The problems of trust that result from individual uncertainty, the fictitious and open Internet impenetrate the whole of trade process influence the development of EC market. Trace to its theoretic source, information asymmetry is one of main reasons. Some consumers may not make C2C trasactions due to the much more information asymmetric and frequent occurence of web cheating behavior.
