If you don't have to contact the support and if there's no issue with downloading your purchased models, everything is fine. In case you have to contact the support, you'll probably have to wait over three weeks for a reply. A few years ago everything was way better on this site. It's a shame to see how they treat long term customers. Edit: Just check REQUEST #639838, it still takes over 2 Weeks to get an answer and no solution has been found yet.

I've been selling on Turbosquid for several years and its just come to the stage where its terrible for creators. They take 60% of every sale from creators and seem to think this is just. In the past I could offset the loss by increasing prices but now they price lock everything to prevent you from doing that. I've now stopped uploading products to Turbosquid altogether and removed my high value products. Its completely unreasonable to treat your creators so badly when they built the platform for you. If you are looking to buy 3D models, look for the same products on other platforms like CGTrader and buy from there, the cost doesn't change for you and it makes a world of difference to us creators!

By far the worst place to sell your intellectual properties. I've been with them since 2012 and twice now, turbosquid has arbitrarily unchecked my "do not participate in sales" option and sold my models off for significantly less than the low end price I already sell my products at. Furthermore, it used to be a decent place to buy and sell but these days turbosquid has become nothing but an over saturated collection of poor quality high priced rubbish models. Do yourself a HUGE favor and seek any of your 3D needs elsewhere. Peace.

I thought buying "royalty-free" products would allow me the freedom to create awesome animations to eventually sell on Shutterstock or Videohive or any other platform where animators & artists can earn some money. It's not "royalty-free" at all. For example, they don't allow you to sell your own created animations if you used the paid royalty-free Turbosquid assets. This restricts the users from selling their creations on other platforms and this defeats the whole purpose of the royalty-free license. I think all animators out there should read Turbosquid's so-called "royalty-free" license, as this is very disappointing. I feel bad for the people that actually selling footage right now, most likely not knowing that it isn't even allowed. I'm happy I read it in time before I bought all my assets. If you want the freedom to create and sell, search for sites that actually do provide Royalty-free licenses that are not custom made to limit your freedom of selling your products on other platforms.

Avoid them at all cost. In 2020 it is easier to direct sale your models then use platform like this.

They took money from my card 2 times and I didnt get anything Worst service ever

TURBOSQUID owe me $26.00 since 5 years. I closed my account after considering that I was paying too much of their royalty (Lost most of my money with their royalties cost) and instead of sending me kindly a check like as I strongly asked, they sent the money to my old and closed paypal account where I cannot access or get my money. They told me that it's not their problem. Please stay away from them, they steal 40% from the artists. Here's the previous message from them: Your royalty amount is 40%; Therefore, your balance is currently $26.00.

I just wanted a $10 model to experiment with in Blender. Chose one, added to Shopping Cart, paid, and then got a message that I'd have to wait ten minutes to download my purchase because it is being 'reviewed' (?) I then got an email asking me to send/upload a jpeg of my driver's license (!?) which they would then additionally review (for a measly $10 purchase!?) I've been making purchase online for over 10 years, and never once been asked to send ID through for verification, before they'll 'release' the product I've just bought! I went to a similar site, purchased, and downloaded a similar (and cheaper) model, all within a minute. TurboSquid - Clearly a SCAM. AVOID.
