I just made 15 sales in 5 seconds... how is this even possible?

Discussion started by zivqual

I just got 15 email massages of sales all at once, all at exactly 06:00 (my local time), all gave me only about 30% revenue from my actual price.
Im a small seller here, 15 sales is what I make here in about 2 years....
What the hell is going on here??

Same happened to me. All from "cgt-clients". Sold for a small fraction of the initial price.

Hopefully the sales all go through and the customer(s) are legitimate. There recently have been several accounts that were using stolen credit cards.

Same here. All purchased by "cgt-clients". Very interesting, is there an explanation?

And none of the purchased models have been downloaded.

I agree. Also bought many models and different themes. And not a single 3D model was downloaded. This looks like a purchase with a stolen credit card.I agree.

None downloaded, what would be the actual purpose then? Where is the official explanation from CG Trader? https://www.cgtrader.com/forum/selling-buying-3d-models/cgt-clients-buying-several-models-any-idea-what-is-going-on According to this it's from "enterprise client of CGTrader". What does that even mean and did we ask for that? Wonder if we'll even get paid because it doesn't show on the notifications, only email. Very fishy stuff.

Same here.

I'd also like to highlight something quite interesting.
I've never opted into any promotions (NEVER) — in fact, I set my preferences to avoid them right from the start of my time on CGTrader. Yet somehow, about three weeks ago, I had the pleasure of discovering that my settings had magically changed, and two of my models were sold at a 20% and a whopping 50% discount (on 2025-04-24 & 2025-04-11).

Thankfully, I caught it before it got worse — and reset everything the moment I noticed the issue.
Of course, no notification about this change was properly sent to my email or shown clearly in the dashboard.

Now, why would I bring this up here, you ask?
Well, isn’t it just a fascinating coincidence, considering this whole “CGT-clients” situation?

Hope this won't turn into the "CGT-clients Gate"!

I asked CGtrader support about the issue and received the following response. I don't understand what happened, can anyone explain?

"These purchases were made by one of our verified enterprise clients under a bulk licensing agreement. In such cases, discounts of up to 70% may apply depending on your account settings, as outlined in our Terms and Conditions (section 18.11). This is a standard process for enterprise buyers purchasing in volume.

Also, please note that these purchases were processed yesterday, but due to the way enterprise transactions are handled, they may only appear on your dashboard later. This is expected behavior.

Rest assured, the sales are legitimate and will be added to your overall sales volume. No action is needed on your side.

Let me know if you have any further questions

All the best,
Kristupas"

To anyone who don't want to sell their models to enterprise clients in bulk at heavily discounted rate, just go to my sales>discounts, scroll to the very bottom and uncheck everything under maximize your earnings.

How likely is it that they |the organization| will use all these assets to train an AI model for 3D Generatives?

I just went through all my models and raised their price to fight this

You can just go to the discount setting and turn it off, because why should actual people be charged more for this?

532 sales last Friday.
I am now wondering who these 'CGT clients' are?
Who bought my models, is that a secret?

13 models sold on May 14 2025 - 5 days later, sales still does not appear in the monthly summary, and the payment hasn't been credited ...

Interesting. Does anyone know when the money from sales will be credited? Nothing has changed since the 14th.

I don't know but I noticed that my sales of this type are now marked with this entry " Awaiting payment from buyer " They may also have different arrangements for payment times... if purchase many models in a few days.

Hi all,

These purchases were made by one of our verified enterprise clients under a bulk licensing agreement. In such cases, discounts of up to 70% may apply, depending on your account settings, as outlined in our Terms and Conditions (Section 18.11). This is a standard process for enterprise buyers making volume purchases.

Please note that although these purchases were processed several days ago, enterprise transactions are handled differently and may take additional time to appear in your dashboard. This is expected behavior.

At this stage, the order should appear as "Awaiting payment from buyer." Once the order is fully processed, the corresponding sales amount will be added to your account automatically.

Rest assured, the sales are legitimate and will contribute to your overall sales volume. No action is required on your part.

Thanks for the explanation JuliusCGTrader, I imagined it was a similar process but I didn't know the details.

Hey, If I upload more models and products, do you believe they could attract significant sales potential?

How long do the clients have to pay? Is it the same 20 days after purchasing, similar to the hyperwallet?

I have the same situation. Models sold at a huge discount. No payment. Is this some kind of scam?

I got one sale from them, i think they are going to use our model for AI thing, because from all of my models they only buy the only one without "no ai" license
