ABSTRACT

Trust is a major factor in the internet business. This is not surprising as it is very convenient for cyber criminals to swindle unsuspecting customers. AUN SafeShop is an online store for the American University of Nigeria (AUN) Community. AUN SafeShop is a platform for AUN staff, students and faculty to buy and sell new or fairly used items among themselves. This platform is a lot safer for members of the AUN Community because it will be a near transparent system and it will be very difficult for people to be duped. This is because sufficient information would be provided about buyers and sellers of SafeShop (with their permission). People would be able to sell items of their choice on SafeShop, they would also be able to buy items from other sellers. The only items that would be available for sale would be items provided by the AUN community. Another major function of SafeShop would be auctioning and bidding. A seller can decide not to sell an item at a fixed price; he/she can decide to auction it. In this type of event, people can bid on the item(s) and it is therefore sold to the highest bidder. It is a fact that students get to a point in the semester where they need money, and are willing to sell items. AUN SafeShop provides the perfect avenue to such students so that they do not have to go from door to door looking for buyers. Sellers can register on SafeShop and immediately start selling different items. This platform is also directed at bringing students together, especially because a lot of students would prefer to meet with the seller and see the item before paying for it. AUN SafeShop would eliminate the ambiguity of anonymous sellers because it would be running in a small community, thus making it trustworthy and safe.
