Secondly, when the potential consumers inquirethe perceptual negative comments, the merchant should adopt the rebuttal persuasion strategy to promotethe consumers  willingness to purchase.

The conclusions of this study have a positive promote on merchants effectively responding to negative comments, improving the negative online comment management mechanism, and ultimately promoting the willingness of potential consumers to purchase
