Employing a quantitative approach with a survey method and associative design, the study evaluates the causal relationships between variables. Data were collected through online questionnaires using a Likert scale and purposive sampling technique, targeting respondents with prior repurchase experiences on e-commerce platforms. Data analysis was conducted using SmartPLS 3.0 software, including tests for validity and reliability (outer model), structural model assessment (inner model), and hypothesis testing to evaluate the relationships among variables. This study aims to provide strategic insights for e-commerce businesses to enhance consumer trust, strengthen perceived usefulness, and foster sustainable customer loyalty.The results indicate that e-Trust does not have a direct significant impact on repurchase intention but has a positive and significant effect on perceived usefulness. Moreover, perceived usefulness positively and significantly influences repurchase intention and mediates the relationship between e-Trust and repurchase intention. These findings underscore the critical role of perceived usefulness in building customer loyalty, as trust in e-commerce platforms indirectly influences repurchase intention by improving perceptions of platform utility. These insights offer strategic guidance for e-commerce platforms in designing user experiences that are not only secure but also value-driven.Keywords: E-commerce, E-Trust, Perceived usefulness, Repurchase intention]]>
