There are many success models of redistribution. EBay, Amazon, Gumtree and Craigslist are all examples, especially for P2P transactions that connects consumer to consumer, being able to sell or buy, rent or exchange. Collaborative consumption on P2P platforms works with reputation mechanisms that can build trust among users. To sell a product it may be charged a membership fee to the platform; if the product is sold, a fee will be charged on the final value. These platforms that have no physical inventory and in which users own their clothing have great potential for scalability with exponential growth. They can be implemented anywhere in the world, at reduced cost for deployment. The great investment is made in technology, insurance and partnership with companies providing services such as washing, arrangements, delivery and others.

However, the only support found related to perceived website quality and third party recognition. There has been a lot of change in the culture of how consumers not only obtain goods and services but also where they look for their recommendations.4
Integrating the mechanism of three-part tariff pricing to the provision of intra-site search engine advertising services
Published in International Journal of Production Research, 2018
While public search engines (PSEs), the publicly accessible information services for searching the entire Internet, have been well studied, another type of search engine, intra-site search engine (ISE), is becoming increasingly popular but is less researched. ISEs are dedicated to proprietary electronic markets and many offer membership for premium advertising services. Examples can be observed in various forms of electronic markets, such as eBay (Consumer-to-Consumer), Amazon (Business-to-Consumer) and Alibaba (Business-to-Business). With the huge market volume, as the core system component, ISE plays an important role in the E-market.
