spit - theres no way to 'tactfully' approach this discussion - no matter what, people's feelings are going to get hurt. there is a problem in the marketplace. but i do know that renderosity is working on it. i think a stricter set of guidelines as to what is accepted and what isnt is the way to go, also a stricter set of guidelines as to product promos. runtime DNA is going about it the right way. i think that, first off, 3 product promos should be NECESSARY, not optional. i think its owed to the customer to give them at least 3 previews of the product youre expecting them to spend their money on. i also think that at least a committee should look over the marketplace submissions and at LEAST give advice on the price. ie: if someone puts a set of 4 poses in the marketplace and expects $30 for it, you KNOW its not going to sell. i think some intervention on the part of the marketplace staff should be made there to advise the person to lower the price to something more realistic. the marketplace staff could also look over the products that arent selling so well, and perhaps give the merchant some feedback and suggestions - ie: how to present it, what possible improvements/upgrades can be made, etc. cheers, -gabriel
