I dont understand the system or royalty percentage here.
Why isnt it steady ?
Its at 73% now i dont get it.
At one point it was 100% but when i started my account here i had it at 60%.
I dont understand the problem. Why does it jump from 60-100 and back to 78 ?
Hi Tony,
There's a good chance you've been here a while, isn't it? I believe you went through lower royalty rates which turned into a credit system (something similar to receiving 100% royalties for pre-purchased credits) which was dismantled to create a stable ceiling and a minimum royalty rate decided.
To understand how it works you can see here for yourself: https://www.cgtrader.com/levels
So now you're at 73% which will rise up to 80% with the reputation earned.
So higher reputation=higher rate ?
Isnt higher royalty=higher fee ?
Why in the world would i want to increase it ?
Not to mention i dont understand what causes royalty rate to go from 60 to 100 and back down to 60 looking at the sales.
My first sale was at 60% royalty
7th save was at 100% royalty.
8th sale was at 87% and they keep jumping back and forth until 2016-10-02 then all sales are at 73% solid.
I am as confused as i can get.
Higher royalty rate only means you get more income per sale (so, less goes to CGTrader) - and that's what you would and should want in my book:)
There are a few ways to get 100% royalty rates (that included the not-existing-anymore-credits I've mentioned, free sales some people won from challenges, or sale campaigns where CGTrader cut their income to give 100% royalties to the designers) - but the last royalty structure change happened in 2016 September 1st, so no real jumping from there - you can now only rise to 80% rate to receive more income.
