When making a purchase in e-commerce, consumers must have trust feeling to the stores or a particular product in order to get buying interest. Trust is a necessary component of any business process; a transaction involving two or more parties will take place if both parties believe one another. (Anwar & Adidarma, 2016). It can be said that trust is the most important foundation because if there is no trust, there will be no transactions in online buying and selling activities.
Difficult online transaction activities will certainly make it difficult for consumers to make online transactions. Therefore, the ease of doing online transactions is also one of the deciding factors in purchasing. The ease of online transactions means that consumers do not have to go through many procedures to transactmaking it easy for customers to make online purchases. Simple ordering procedures, various and simple payment techniques, informative and enjoyable purchasing processes, and rapid and exact product delivery processes all contribute to the ease of online transactions. (Yuliawan, 2018).
Transaction activities through e-commerce, of course, cannot be separated from the risk perception. The risk here refers to the uncertainty experienced by consumers when making online purchases. Do the transactions through e-commerce, of course, makes consumers tend to have risk perception. Kautonen & Karjaluoto (2008) said that the level of uncertainty, dependence, and risk faced by consumers who make purchases online products tend to be higher compared to buying products offline. Having a sense of risk towards purchasing a product or service that is too high can prevent consumers from completing the transaction.
There are differences in research results that occur in risk perception. In the research of (Achadi et al., 2021) which has the title "The Effect of E-commerce Website Quality, Trust, Risk Perception, and Subjective Norms on Online Purchase Intention at Bukalapak.com", The study found that risk perception positively and significantly affect purchase intention. In contrast to (Jordan et al., 2018) with the title "Impact of Fear of Identity Theft and Perceived Risk on Online Purchase Intention" where risk perception has negative and significantly affect purchase intention.
On the basis of the foregoing, the author is interested in researching "The influence of trust, ease of use, and risk perception on purchase intention at Tokopedia". Davis (1986) proposed the TAM (Technology Acceptance Model), "TAM is a modification of the Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA) designed specifically to model user acceptance of information technologies".

Literature Review 2.1 Technology Acceptance Model
According to Davis (1989), "TAM's primary objective is to lay the groundwork for tracing the influence of external factors on computer users' trust, attitude (personalization), and goals. TAM identifies perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use as the two most influential behavioral variables in determining whether an information system is adopted".

Trust
According to Rofiq (2007), trust is a belief that a party has all its obligations properly and as expected so as to be fully trusted by another party in conducting a transaction. According to Mayer et al. (1995) that trust is shaped by three factors, such as ability, benevolence, and integrity. They are described as follows: 1. Ability Ability refers to the competence and characteristics of the seller or organization in influencing and authorizing a specific area. In this case, the seller is responsible for providing serving and securing the transaction from outside interference.

Benevolence
Benevolence is the seller's willingness to deliver mutually beneficial satisfaction for both parties. While the seller's profit margins can be increased, customer satisfaction is also increased. It is not only important for sellers to maximize profits, but also to ensure the satisfaction of their customers.

Integrity
Integrity refers to the seller's behavior or habits in handling their businesses. The information offered to customers is either truthful or false, and the quality of the products sold is either trustworthy or untrustworthy. Davis (1989) stated "ease of use as a measure of how easily technology can be used". Individuals believe that convenience comes from using systems that do not require much effort. In other words, if an individual thinks a technological system is easy to use, understand, study, and clearly applied, they will use it. Davis (1989) explains that there are several measurements that can be used to determine the ease of use: 1. Simple to learn 2. Simple to comprehend 3. It's simple to develop skill 4. Convenient to use Suhir et al. (2014) defines risk perception as an individual's subjective evaluation of the potential of an accident and his or her level of concern about the incident's consequences or impacts. Assael (1998) states that risk perception becomes one of the important components in the processing of information carried out by consumers. When confronted with the purchase of high-risk products, consumers are increasingly urged to seek extra information. According to Mulyadi Nitisusastro (2012), the dimensions of risk perception are as follows. 1. Financial risk, which is the risk associated with concerns about facing difficulties in terms of funds. 2. Functional risk, which is the risk about function related to the negative impact that will be expected if consumers know and understand many of the products that will be purchased contain some disadvantages when purchased and consumed. 3. Physical risk, which is the risk associated with consumer concern that a product can cause particular physical harm. 4. Psychological risk, which is the risk associated with the occurrence of negative impacts will be attached to them if they buy and consume the product. 5. Social risk, which is the risk associated with the negative impact that comes from his environment if they buy and consume the product. 6. Time risk, which is the risk that a decision will take up much time.

Purchase Intention
Huang and Su (2011) define purchase intention as "a component of consumer cognitive behavior that defines the way an individual desires to purchase a brand". Furthermore, Kotler and Koller (2009) define purchase intention as behavior displayed or customers experience when they meet products that signal the consumer's desire to acquire a particular item.
According to Ferdinand (2002) there are 4 indicators of purchase Intention. The following are the indicators: 1. Transactional Interest A person's proclivity to purchase a product is referred to as transactional interest.

Referential Interest
A person's proclivity to recommend a product to others is referred to as referential interest.

Preferential Interest
Preferential Interest is a term that refers to the behavior of an individual who has a strong preference for a particular product. This preference is only transferable if the desired product becomes unavailable.

Exploratory Interest
Exploratory interest is a type of interest that exhibits the attitude of someone who is continuously look for information related to the products in which they are interested, as well as information to enhance the product's positive characteristics.

E-commerce
Javalgi and Ramsey (2001) said "E-commerce is the process of selling and purchasing goods and services through the internet. Anyone, regardless of space or time constraints, can use ecommerce. In the context of e-commerce, activities refer to the relationships between sellers and buyers, the transactions between business personnel, and the internal processes that enable business transactions"

Research Method
This study was conducted on active users of Tokopedia in Denpasar. The author chose Denpasar city because according to the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) Bali, the residents of Denpasar city are the highest internet users in Bali, as much as 81.55 percent. The population for this study is Tokopedia users in Denpasar who have completed purchases on Tokopedia and whose population is unknown. A sample is a subset of the population composed of its members. This subset is used since it is nearly always impossible to conduct research on an entire member of the population. As a result, we create a sample of a representative population (Ferdinand, 2006). Samples in the study used the formula from Hair et al (2010). The sample size that must be achieved in this study is 85 samples. In this study, non-probability sampling was used. a sampling technique that does not ensure that each element or member of the population has an equal chance of being included in the sample is non-probability sampling. Purposive sampling is used. Sugiyono (2012) said "Purposive sampling is a sampling technique that is motivated by certain factors".  (2022) Based on Table 3, T-Test shows: 1. The results of Trust variable's influence reveal a significance value of 0.002 and a tvalue of 3.219. When the significance value is compared, it is less than 0.05, indicating that H1 is accepted. As a result, Trust positively and significantly affects Purchase Intention. 2. The effect of the Ease of Uses variable is significant at 0.012 with a t-value of 2.555.
