In literature, there are many studies showing how a company＇s brand affects customer loyalty. Less attention has been paid to the relationship between e-commerce website loyalty and e-customer loyalty. This paper can be included in a stream of research that applies the construct of loyalty to e-commerce. Thus, this study aims to analyze, within the electronic market, the elements influencing and determining the trust and loyalty of the e-customers. This research consists of a descriptive study carried out utilizing the survey method. The population in this study includes 421 e-customers of Italian online multi-brand portals. The instrument of data gathering was a web-questionnaire and the data analysis was based on regression. Findings show a positive relationship between three factors （website technological level, e-service quality, and brand） and e-customer trust. Furthermore, the correlation, among the three variables, trust as mediating variable, and e-customer＇s loyalty, has been revealed. Therefore, it can be basically assumed that trust builds e-customer loyalty.展开更多
