It is the customers who decide, items go to clearanceif they haven't sold in a set amount of time.  Thing is I have items hit clearance here that are actually still selling elsewhere. Vendors used to be able to "opt out" of clearance so their products were just removed now that option is gone and you have to catch it when something is going to go into clearance. 

Then you have to contact a store admin to have it removed. PITA it is.

I don't use clearance because it's unfair to have the item forced into a permanent sale here when customers are paying regular price elsewhere.  Heck I just had 4 items removed - all of them have sold in the past month elsewhere, 3 in the week I had them removed from here.
