The Fun Of Your Computer Being Stolen. Trust Me.
Studies have shown that nearly 80% of purchasers of high-end or high cost goods and services now research their purchase on the web prior to buying.

Blogs are a GREAT way to get your company name and product attributes in front of prospective customers at exactly the time they are researching a purchase. ( for more on this, you can visit: http://www.seoconsultantsdenver.thewebinfocenter.com/ )

Without a blog, you might be missing a significant number of prospective buyers!

Blogging Increases Web Site Traffic: HubSpot Customer Study Shows
Its fine to talk about Privacy Policies and services that will back you up as a reputable business but first and foremost you have to earn the trust of your visitors by giving them the information they are looking for.

Forget about trying to sell people and instead "pre-sell". Offer information that they cant get anywhere else. Truly try to help visitors solve their problems.

You cant help but build trust and loyalty that way.

How Can You Show Trust On Your eCommerce Web Site?
I would agree with the reasons you have stated. I have tried to purchase a few items online and found a few websites that were just hard to navigate and eventually did not end up purchasing anything from them.
Difficulty in finding the product can be disastrous in keeping an online business going. If they have a search field it always seems that it brings up something totally opposite of what you're looking for.
Great advice...hopefully some of those difficult website owners will see this post!
