Abstract

The exponential growth of online peer-to-peer (P2P) platforms paved the way for large-scale commerce between individuals. This work aims to evaluate the determinants of the intention to use these platforms by the sellers for the transaction of products and services, contributing to fill a gap in the literature. The results confirmed all the hypotheses of the research model, allowing us to conclude that the intention to use is strongly explained by performance expectation, habit, trust, and innovativeness. From the study it is possible to draw relevant implications for the academic world, as well as for the management of P2P platforms.
