The level of uncertainty of a consumer, depending upon whether the purchase he/ she is making will be worth it or not. The perceived risk is higher when a more expensive purchase is going to be made, such as a cart, etc. Usually, the perceived risk is lowered by gathering more information about the product that the consumer is buying.
