The simplest answer is don't upload anything to that outfit.

Why worry about the lost 10 cents?

Actually i don't upload to shutterstock. But then i was active there i didn't care about rejections.
I shoot series with at about 8 to 10 or even more images. If there is one image rejected - so what.
Though i was wondering that shutterstock was rejecting only a few images.

Mobile phones don't produce good quality photos unless shot in ideal light condition. They have a way too small sensor to avoid noise in low to medium light and unless shot in RAW most will cause artifacts while compressing. It's no surprise that Shutterstock rejects a lot of mobile phone photos.

most of my photos are shoot outdoor with good lighting, and all the photos accepted by other agency except SS.

SS can be picky about cell phone photos. Shoot raw if you can.
