Hi everyone, I am carrying out a research for Middlesex University on issues in E-commerce sites' purchase process. The issues can be usability issues or the cognitive issues which lead you to abandon the shopping process. I will be really grateful if you share your experiences on any e-commerce site which will help me to gather my initial data.

Hi Syed
Have you read our recently published Online Retail 2007: Checkout Special?
And its sister publications Online Retail User Experience Benchmarks 2006 and Online Retail User Experience Benchmarks 2004?
There's a whole load of excellent stuff in those reports on all the issues you mention - written by Mike Baxter (a former Professor of Design & Communication). In his early days he famously studied where pigs shit - clearly an ideal grounding for figuring out why people buy online (or not)...

Yes, I have read the report and it is very informative. But I would like to do my own research as well as available literature review. Thanks for the comment.
