A survey conducted in the United States in 2023 showed that there is still plenty of hesitation when it comes to online shopping for second-hand fashion items. The main concern, at almost 80 percent, was doubt about the conditions of the products being sold, followed by roughly 65 percent of the respondents being afraid of losing money through scams. The least of the shoppers' worries were about how they would get customer support if necessary, at around 13 percent.
