Retaining old customers is inherently more difficult than acquiring new customers, so it is
very important for e-commerce to be able to make old customers willing to shop again on the
same site, besides that it is also important for online businesses to understand why customers are
willing to make purchases again on the same e-commerce site. As one of the problems for an e-
commerce company is repurchase intention, because of the large competition between companies
both service providers and products that are developing in the global market (Pappas, Pateli, &
Giannakos, 2014). Repurchase intention as a consumer motivation to repeat the purchase behavior
of a product, indicated by the continuous use of a product brand. It is important to know what are
the factors that influence consumers' repurchase intentions on Bukalapak (Tsai, 2005). Repurchase
intention or interest in repurchase is customer satisfaction measured behaviorally by asking whether
the customer will shop or use the company's services again. According to, (Fandy Tjiptono,
2016)(Phillip, Gus, Rodney, & John, 2003)repurchase intention is defined as an individual's
assessment of the repurchase of services or services from the same company taking into account the
current situation and the good mood of the individual. In e-commerce applications, customers'
repurchase interest will arise after making a purchase accompanied by a feeling of satisfaction in
shopping using the application.
Consumer repurchase intention is influenced by many factors. The first factor is electronic
word of mouth. Critical consumers will certainly compare related products by conducting a
review search, both positive and negative reviews. that customer satisfaction and trust will
generate customer loyalty in the form of (Papp & Matulich, 2011) word of mouth and repurchase
interest. Lack of consumer satisfaction and trust can give a negative impression to a given word-
of-mouth. Satisfied consumers will tell their experiences to others, for example on social media or
other internet media. Seller testimonials that mention products have been sold in days, hours or
minutes are very useful to influence potential new sellers to advertise on Bukalapak. Electronic
word of mouth (e-wom) communication refers to positive or negative statements made by
potential, actual, or former customers about products or companies that are available to many
people and institutions through the internet (Jalivand, 2012). According to some authors, electronic
word of mouth (e-WOM) is a development of traditional WOM used in a virtual environment
(which is a positive or negative statement made by a customer either potential customers, actual
customers or (Jorge Matute, Yolanda Polo-Redondo, Ana Utrillas, 2016) former customers about
a product or company, which is available to people and institutions via the Internet. (Hennig-thurau,
Eifler, Hennig-thurau, Gwinner, & Gremler, 2003). Seller testimonials that mention products have
been sold in days, hours or minutes are very useful to influence potential new sellers to advertise

Research on electronic word of mouth conducted by shows that (Erif, 2019) electronic
word of mouth has a positive and significant effect on repurchase intention at Citilink Indonesia. A
similar study on electronic word of mouth conducted by, entitled e-lifestyle (Panigoro, Rahayu,
& Rahayu, 2018) and electronic word of mouth analysis of online repurchase intention (survey
on customers of Berrybenka online fashion products on Instagram Fan Page) showed the
existence of electronic word of mouth variables influence on repurchase intent. Proven because
of the higher information obtained and experience with online shopping in online stores makes
customers to remake online purchases in e-commerce applications.
Consumer commitment to repeat purchase intentions is more or less influenced by
consumer satisfaction. Satisfaction is considered a key factor influencing repurchase
intention(Hsu et al, 2014). Satisfied consumers will form a repurchase intention, while
dissatisfied consumers will not use the website in the future in Hsu et. Al., (2014). explained
that high satisfaction of a service causes consumers to always consider repeat purchases (Gulzar,
Anwar, Sohail, & Akram, 2011). Satisfaction in using e-commerce applications is called electronic
