This review paper focuses on the barriers and obstacle of attitude towards online shopping in the Malaysian market. From the review of literature, it is found that the Malaysian online shopping is still at the beginning stage as compared to other Asian countries which are at a more advanced stage. Among the contributor to this issue is the lack of understanding and negative attitude towards online shopping. Due to that, four main barriers have been identified and they are: privacy and security, trust, web design and perceived ease of use. This study is still at the early stage and needs further validation by reputable scholars and experts in the field to enhance its credibility. Thus, the issue will be explored further through quantitative study.
