The thing is, frankly, this is the third artist I have heard from personally who has told me they are "Not wanted at renderosity" for their characters...
Yet at the same time we have other artists who put up several items per week, or two or three characters a month.

To me it looks like the RMP Staff are picking favorites - or established sellers with high prices and high margins - over newcomers and merchants with less-expensive products, in part to protect those favorites.

Not that this isn't a standard business practice - how many books get denied for being too much like Glenn Cook's or Stephen King's - while the books of those two authors go directly into expensive hardcover editions first? 

That being said. the rejection to the prospective merchant must be crushing - especially if their product is as good as others' products already in the marketplace.   And while Renderosity is not the only marketplace for Poser, it is one of the two most prominent and prestigious.  

Still, this 'picking of the already popular' may be why R'osity is getting fewer and fewer of my poser dollars, as I go elsewhere to follow MY favorite creators, rather than THEIRS.
