Artists Avoid Selling on This Site!!!
This company is forcing ALL of their artists to sign up with hyperwallet which is not actually a mandatory thing in order to continue receiving payments with paypal. I tried signing up and everything glitched out on me, and when I called the folks at hyperwallet they said the problem was with cgtrader. When I contacted cgtrader about this, they totally deflected the blame onto me as if I were doing something wrong and they weren't willing to read in detail the actual problem and deliver solutions accordingly. After this I had no choice but to pull my products with them considering how difficult they were making things for me to continue selling with them. Now after the incident, they have skipped the usually scheduled payout on the 20th of the month and they are not telling me why they are holding back my money. I'm assuming they're going to hold my last payment hostage until I sign up with hyperwallet which may be the only way they'll pay it out. Remember, these are limitations that they are setting as they could just simply still choose to pay me the traditional way through the normal PayPal route. If you're an artist I would avoid this site like the plague!!! Besides the difficult payment scheme, their upload form is way glitchy and prone to losing / unlinking files like preview images etc. I'm still waiting to hear back from them about the payment that they're refusing to give me. I EARNED THAT MONEY AND I WANT IT NOW!!!
