The goal of this study is to determine the relations among beliefs in the number of selected Facebook´s features, attitude toward Facebook commerce, perception on ease of use in Facebook fan page, and consumers´ intention to buy on F-Commerce. Consequently, the survey questionnaires were evaluated by the university graduated respondents. Every respondent is the Facebook user and is friend with at least one researcher on Facebook. Additionally, before filling the survey, they were asked to read the same given scenario and to observe different series of mock-up pictures according to their random group.
