TurboSquid is not a company that practices any kind of #FairBusiness, and there is many other cases from other people stating the same for different reasons:
Thank you again! Right now, low quality models flooding this site are attracting the low budget people - that's certainly why high quality objects with pricings in accordance don't sell that much. Turbosquid is butt ugly and greedy, I hope when CG gets bigger than TS, they don't end up the same way. Also, the problem comes from the sellers, not the site designers, for a large part.

Maybe CG Trader should consider a large add-on to the site, where the customers can click a link, and go to a whole new site (owned by cg trader) that does sells strictly 3d printable models :) Just an idea :).

Think about the kind of treatment you can expect from these soulless corporate hacks once they can play their monopoly game again. They don't allow you to communicate with the customer, with Turbosquid support acting as a "human firewall" (and a bad one) that is constantly supervising every interaction to ensure that Turbosquid always gets the best outcome (and neither the seller nor the customer).

I don't think trying to sit down with one ass on more then one chair at the same time is a good business. Another thing that makes CGT better than TS is the friendships that one is able to make within the artist community. If they want free models then they can go elsewhere!!! Plus, as I saw in another post, turbosquid does not let you post any links. This conversation has me glued to my monitor, all very well spoken and nailed down to the core.

The items from CG and TS do not appear very far from each other in Google. On TS depends on the country you come for, you get around 30% of your earnings (this is how much you get on your account, I know it is stated 60% but they take additional 30% for US tax), here I am not shore how much you get as I just joined and did not made any sales. "TurboSquid Support, Jun 20, 08:14 SST: So click on a category. Search is arguably most important feature of stocks and search in TS is head and shoulders (and then some more) above search in CGT. The entire way of setting up your model seems backwards and chaotic. I was a seller on Ts for very long time but never liked it, felt the 60% cut was unjust, the aggressive tactics towards competitors was bad, the self centeredness to keep artist away from own clients was wrong, and there are many more reasons why it never felt home to me. - Crowdfunding to improve the CGtrader presence in the market.

Large studios with "turbosquid" collaborate very limitedly. The paypal commission is paid 2 times - 1 when the model is bought, 2 times - when money is paid to the seller. Just my fifty cents. If I am searching for a 3D model, I am not interested in 3D printing services, and vice versa. Most people say you get more sales at Turbosquid than any other 3D marketplace, so even if you get a much lower royalty % in the end you get more money, and while this is true up to a point (NOT x80 sales in any case), what most people don't realize is what happens IF your products are NOT in Turbosquid but you continue to sell in other marketplaces and have a bit of patience. Cubebrush. If I narrow to "man", it's even worse : 64 out of 128 models displayed are scanned 3d models.

Personally, I will never sign up to exclusive contracts, others should always get chances to maybe offer better job if they can. As someone suggested most serious buyers will end up buying 100 bucks worth of models so putting down 1 Dollar isn't going to cause any trouble. Let me explain - I like the look of the models here, but the site is even designed so end users, like me, can't even download more that 10 "free" items unless they've uploaded models of their own, written tutorials, posted topics to the forum (which is difficult if you're not an actual modeler) and/or jumped through about 1,500 other ridiculous hoops to get enough "reputation" points. and it's not a check-out, it's simply a gift. Cheap and free models are killing cgtrader. CGTrader remains a young and very responsive team and listening to members - it's a great quality. And between CGTrader and TurbuSquid, I think, let everything will be decided in a reasonable competition.
