This phenomenon is called e-commerce based on social network (ESN). One of Indonesia’s website which apply ESN is Kaskus.

Data were analiyzed through descriptive statistics, SPSS, and LISREL. Result of the study finds the positive impact of trust in Kaskus on Kaskuser’s purchase intention. All antecedents of trust are proved have postive impact on both trust in members and trust in website/vendor’s which lead to intention to get information, and purchase intention thereafter. However, trust in Kaskuser shows negative impact on www.kaskus.co.id or trust in vendors.
