I submitted, waited 6 months and then posted as to the status. A rude editor told me that I'd been denied because my site was too much like so many others and not to waste time resubmitting. When so many sites sell the same thing, we're going to have some of the same descriptions and pictures. Why is that any different than any other ecommerce site that sells a popular item???
Another editor told me to resubmit to my local/regional section, so I did. In the nearly a year we were waiting to get listed there, our company decided to switch the PO we were using due to the congested traffic and the amount of time it took to pick up the mail each day. Doing so meant our mailing address was now a different town. We were denied because we listed a different town than the city we submitted to.
The original category I submitted to has not been, as far as I can tell, added to in all the time I've been watching. Granted, I don't have the list memorized but I do check it fairly often and I'm very familiar with the sites that are listed (they are competitors, so I "know" their sites) and I've never noticed any new names listed.
I'm told "we're only human volunteers and we do the best we can". Fine, I respect that, but if someone doesn't have the time or desire to do the job, then why do they volunteer or continue to keep the volunteer position?
