A survey conducted in the United States in 2023 showed that there was still plenty of hesitation when it comes to online shopping for second-hand fashion items and how those fears are, in fact, somewhat similar between genders. The main concern, with the highest percentage among men and women, was the hesitation about the condition of the product being sold. This was followed by around 58 percent of men and 67 percent of women being afraid of losing money through scams. When it comes to the least of their worries, there was a difference between the genders. Women did not care as much about having access to customer support, while men did not care as much about knowing an item was not brand new.
