Additional PayPoint.net research also shows that consumers are willing to vote with their feet: just 3 per cent of online shoppers would trust a small online business with their money, preferring to shop with larger online brands. Furthermore, 81 per cent of consumers are suspicious of the security of small, unknown companies demonstrating that small online retailers have more, not less to prove.
