3D Projects Commission Changes %5----%15

This makes me so sad! is absolutely unacceptable 15% it too much, this is going to affect so many people.
So 15%+transfer fees+taxes ITS TOO MUCH!
cgtrader please reconsider this! neither us who have worked with cgtrader so many years and the clients would find it acceptable. people will just look for other ways to get payment!

For about 4 years, I have convinced dozens of customers who have never heard of Cgtrader before, to do their projects through Cgtrader.
This decision of Cgtrader saddened me and will upset my regular customers.

I would like to remind Cgtrader the saying "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" because most designers will most likely have to raise their project offers due to this commission increase and most customers will move away from Cgtrader for this reason.
I hope it doesn't turn out the way I think it will.

First they introduce Hyperwallet with stupid fees, then add extra fees for projects.
And yes, this means that the overall sales actually drop. It's likely global. If the sales didn't drop, they wouldn't need extra money. But this of course will prevent many buyers entering here.

Best solution would be royalty %, based on reputation (from 85% to 95%, or at least, from 80% to 90%).

10 % is a lot ! I don't understand

Please check the emails sent by cgtrader. The site says it will switch to 15% commission as of May 20.

I believe that some freelancing platforms have already gone this route. As a result, they were forced to make a fee lower than before the increase to stop migration from their platform. As someone said - one platform fault is another opportunity

After unilaterally forcing us to switch to Hypperwallet (even for those who didn't want to), and now this ... Humm, nothing good will come out of this.
Let the fall of CGTrader begin !

Wait, what? Are you saying that cgtrader secretly reduced commission rates for freelancing projects from 95% to 85%? Without single announcement and explanation? Surely that can't be right.

“In our commitment to supporting enhancements and ensuring the sustainability of this service, we are increasing the commission CGTrader receives from 5% to 15% for new jobs posted starting from May 20th (upon the successful completion of these new projects)”

"11.3. CGTrader fee is equal to 5% (five percent) of the fee paid by the Buyer to the Designer. Upon conclusion of the Contract, CGTrader will calculate and pay royalties to Designer after having deducted VAT, payment processing costs and CGTrader fee." doesn't look that something has changed in cgtrader terms and conditions regards freelance projects fee. Care to explain what you mean by commission changes?

I recommend you check spam or other sections. I came across it by chance in the other tab.

I can't write it here - as it will be advertisement of them. But I don't tink you will have difficulties to find whats happened on the freelance market started from the Elance platform, which is lready dead
