[theme-reviewers] How much do you charge to list a them under featured section?

[Chip Bennett]

Hi Satish,

The Theme Review team does not determine which Themes are selected as
"featured" Themes. I'm not sure who does, but I can assure you that we have
not influence or control over the "Featured Theme" selections.

Cheers!

Chip
