However, one of the major and prolonged concerns that restrict its adoption by customers and organizations is the risk involved. The study explored the resultant impact of Perceived Risk on e-commerce adoption by customers in South West Nigeria.

The study sample was drawn from the database of call to pick-up customers of four top e-commerce organizations in Southwest Nigeria using purposive, stratified and accidental sampling techniques. Six hundred and sixty-six copies of questionnaires were administered, 621 were retrieved while 610 were used for analysis. Quantitative data analysis was done through descriptive statistics, Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) and Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) using (STATA 12) and the hypothesis was tested with the use of regression analysis.
