Sorry, no brokerage does that.

Well, they all should. I also think that 50/50 royalties is much too low. The artists are the ones who do most of the work, so they should get most of the money. The exception being a vendor who only releases one or two products a year-- in which case the effort is likely closer to 50/50 depending on product quality and how much effort TPtB put into site redesign, bug testing/removal, server changes, etc. that particular year.

Vendors here DO decide when to put their products on sale & the percentage discounts. No one has ever told me I have to put my items on sale. I decide that & if there are group sales, as we often have here, I decide if I want to add my products to that sale. No one else decides that for me. Sure I have to select the options of discounts provided, but that's neither here nor there.

Good. I'm very glad to hear that Rendo does that. Definitely one thing that they have over Daz.

No they don't. PAs can put their items on sale with percentages as well if they speak to marketing about it. But that's in addition to promotions that vendors at BOTH sites can't opt out of... store-wide sales at DAZ, coupons here.

Vendors can't opt out of coupons however

I thought sure they could here. The coupons usually say "some vendors may not participate"

Not in the past. Previously the only way to get out would have been if the coupon specified that it did work on items already on sale; then they can give their items a 1% discount. The "some vendors" may mean the same thing as the coupon wouldn't cover some new releases, but "some" doesn't mean "everyone" can opt out.
